That’s right, classic pieces of art work have served up as the inspiration behind a number of delicious sweet sculptures and art pieces in an immersive exhibit that will bring a sugarcoated, dreamworld sweet factory to life. For anyone who has ever seen Charlie and the Chocolate factory will have always wanted to try the edible wallpaper and this is nearly as good. The experience transports you to an imaginative confectionary wonderland to explore your sweet tooth like never before.
There are over twelve different rooms with larger-than-life installations inspired by pure sugary bliss – it’s a cultural and foodie blend you could only dream of. Think colossal candy creations, flying unicorn pigs and marshmallow tsunamis and you’ve got just a fraction of what the exhibition will involve. As you walk around and explore Candytopia you don’t have to worry about going hungry as you are treated to a whole host of delicious sweet treats and samples including sours and gummies, chocolate treats, plenty of nostalgic favourites and many other sweet surprises.
