Swizzels Sweets are stitched into Britain’s collective memory like sherbet on a school jumper—joyful, a little mischievous, and impossible to forget.

What is the history of Swizzels Sweets?

Born in the bustle of London and tempered by wartime grit, the Swizzels Matlow partnership shifted to New Mills during the Blitz, carrying with it more than machinery and moulds. It carried a promise: that a nation short on sugar would never be short on delight. Out of those factory rooms came sherbet, chew, and fizz in a language Britain speaks fluently—nostalgia.
