Our Liquorice Heritage Boxes are a carefully curated collection of classic liquorice sweets, inspired by vintage packaging styles from the 1920s–1940s. Each box contains approximately 100g of quality liquorice, presented in retro-style designs that celebrate the nostalgia, craftsmanship, and tradition of old-fashioned liquorice.
This collection includes time-honoured favourites such as liquorice allsorts, liquorice comfits, mint liquorice, and Pontefract-style cakes, offering a variety of flavours and textures for true liquorice lovers. Each heritage box is designed to look as good as it tastes, combining classic confectionery with vintage-inspired presentation.
Whether chosen as a liquorice gift box, a vintage-inspired treat, or a nostalgic indulgence, our Liquorice Heritage Boxes are designed to be enjoyed slowly and appreciated. Thoughtfully presented and full of classic flavour, they bring together timeless design and traditional confectionery in one carefully curated collection.
