Ahead of the release of the hotly anticipated new Wonka film, holidaycottages.co.uk have compiled a list of the UK\u2019s best sweet shops to visit this Christmas.<\/p>\n

Traditional sweet shops are nostalgic places for many Brits, with 65 percent of people surveyed by holidaycottages.co.uk saying that they like to bring back sweets that remind them of their childhood when holidaying in the UK.<\/p>\n

Over three-quarters of the 2,000 people surveyed said they liked to try traditional British sweets, such as locally made toffee or fudge.<\/p>\n

Nearly two-thirds of Brits (64 percent) like to share their sweet treats with others, bringing confectionery back for a loved one as a souvenir of their trip.<\/p>\n

Nearly two-thirds of people (64 percent) like to bring confectionery back for a loved one as a memento of their trip. Interestingly, despite the workplace changing dramatically since the pandemic, over half still like to pick up a bag of sweets or chocolate for their work colleagues.<\/p>\n

The Oldest Sweet Shop in the World, Pateley Bridge, North Yorkshire, has been awarded the number one sweet shop in the UK. Although technically not the world\u2019s oldest, that\u2019s Ichimonjiya Wasuke in Japan, it is the oldest sweet shop in England.<\/p>\n

Prepare to be transported back to your youth with a visit to The Oldest Sweet Shop in the World. The nostalgic shop, established in 1827, features antique measuring scales, a vintage cash register and oil lamps.<\/p>\n

Attracting sweet lovers from all over the globe, The Oldest Sweet Shop in the World is famous for their Pontefract cakes – a black, coin-shaped sweet named after the Yorkshire town, Pontefract, that was once a liquorice growing hub.<\/p>\n
