A Day of Flavour, Fun and Family Entertainment

Get ready for a brilliant day out filled with bold flavours, live entertainment and plenty to enjoy for all ages.

The Cooking Theatre is once again at the heart of the festival, with Chilli Olly and Chilli Dave returning to deliver lively demonstrations alongside guest speakers and local cheese and chilli producers. Expect expert tips, delicious inspiration and crowd-favourite challenges that always bring the heat.

Across the festival, you’ll find an impressive selection of handpicked cheeses and chilli-inspired products from some of the UK’s finest growers and makers. Sample, shop and even vote for your favourite sauce in the Taste Tent. Fully stocked bars and live music throughout the weekend create the perfect festival atmosphere.

There’s plenty for families too, from Punch & Judy shows and storytelling to magic, bubbles and balloon fun. Little ones will love meeting our giant mascot, Kerry the Koala, while everyone can enjoy free crazy golf, high-energy wrestling matches and a selection of funfair rides.

Whether you’re here for the food, the entertainment or simply a great day out with friends and family, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
