SHOPPERS visiting Somerset's Clarks Village this weekend can get their hands on free chocolate and a special coffee offer as part of a fundraising campaign supporting people living with cancer.
The Lindt Chocolate Shop at the Street shopping outlet is taking part in the confectioner's new "Pause for a good cause" initiative in support of Macmillan Cancer Support.
From September 25 to September 27, groups of two or more visiting the Somerset store can claim a buy-one-get-one-free coffee and receive a complimentary Lindt Choco Wafer Milk Hazelnut treat bar each.
To take advantage of the offer, customers simply need to say the phrase "Pause for a good cause" when purchasing their coffee.
The campaign is being held as part of Macmillan Coffee Morning 2026, the annual fundraising event which encourages people to come together over coffee, cake and conversation while raising money for cancer support services.
New research commissioned by Lindt found that 72 per cent of Britons believe small moments of connection, such as meeting for a coffee or having a chat, support their mental wellbeing.
The survey also found that nearly two-thirds of people said sharing chocolate or another sweet treat could provide an extra boost to their mood.
The Somerset store is one of a select number of Lindt locations across the UK taking part in the coffee promotion.
Angele Villet, marketing director at Lindt UK, said: "Some of the best conversations happen when we simply take the time to pause, whether that's catching up over a coffee, sharing a treat or checking in with someone we care about.
"Our research shows that people value these small moments of connection, but busy lives can often get in the way.
"Through our 'Pause for a good cause' initiative, we're encouraging everyone to make a little more time for each other this weekend by celebrating the Macmillan Coffee Morning, while supporting the incredible work Macmillan does for people living with cancer."
Jan Forrest, head of relationship fundraising at Macmillan Cancer Support, added: "It's a brilliant opportunity to bring people together and remind friends, family and loved ones that no one has to face cancer alone.
"Whether you raise a little or a lot, every single Coffee Morning takes us one step closer to better care, so that everyone with cancer gets the support they need."
As well as the coffee promotion, Lindt is offering complimentary Choco wafer tastings in stores nationwide until September 25, while stocks last.
The chocolate maker is also giving customers 30 per cent off all Choco wafer boxed products throughout September to help people hosting their own Macmillan Coffee Morning events.
