Engage your students in a 3-hour educational experience at Chelsea Bay!
Your students will experience the smells, sights and sounds of a working factory, learn how sugar is made, enjoy a hands-on baking lesson and test their knowledge in our educational interactive zone
1. The first Stop is the Raw Store. This is where the raw sugar is first stored after it arrives by ship.
2. Then we’re onto the Melt House – where we’ll show you the first few stages of sugar production
3. Third Stop – We’ll take you back in time to show you why this beautiful site was chosen over 130 years ago
4. The Fourth Stop is The Pan Station where you’ll learn about the last stages of sugar production
5. The last stop, we’ll show you how our sugar gets packaged up and ready for you to enjoy
Bake some virtual cookies or a cake with Annabelle White, learn about the history of baking, our Chelsea site and see the stages of flour and sugar production.
Students may wish to challenge themselves on our giant puzzle, or create a wonderful piece of art to display.
This is also where your students can test their knowledge in our Chelsea Bay quiz!

The Chelsea Bay experience is suitable for all students from Year 4 to 13.
We require all students/teachers/supervisors to cover their skin and wear fully enclosed shoes for the factory tour. If the school uniform includes a short sleeved top, or shorts or a skirt then please ask students to wear mufti. Everyone on the tour must wear long sleeved top, long pants, and suitable covered (closed in) shoes.
