'I've got a golden ticket': sweet maker Swizzels offers chance to win VIP tour of factory

Have you found the 'golden ticket?' Credit: Swizzels

The Swizzels factory opened in New Mills 80 years ago and has kept its secrets inside... until now.

The candy company, famous sweet treats like Love Hearts, Drumsticks and Parma Violets, is giving five lucky winners (alongside three friends or family) the chance to get exclusive access to explore its factory.

Sound familiar? Winners of the prize have to find one of five Love Hearts rolls wrapped in golden packaging hidden in variety packs.

Winners will also get the chance to work with experts to create their very own sweet.

SwizzLove Hearts start life as ground powder before being pressed into shape and printed.

They are sorted, packed and checked by staff like Andy Burton who has worked at the factory for 43 years. He also met his wife at the site.

Five tours are on offer with winners going home with a sweet they have designed themselves and few flavours are off limits. Even a Granada Gummy Bear!
