Great Dorset Chilli Festival

This is a real foodies festival, with over 110 artisan food producers from around the region and beyond, with some added HEAT! This is a great day out for chilli lovers and chilli haters, with enough chilli sauces to make steam come out of your ears (disclaimer: if this actually happens, please contact our onsite paramedics, but get a selfie first). Plus a chilli and a curry cook-off competition, chilli eating competitions, chilli plant exhibition and competition, cooking demonstrations, talks, bands, beers and cider, amazing international street food, falconry, bouncy castles. Come for the friendly fun atmosphere, do some serious shopping, have lunch and chilli out under the avenue of ancient oak trees. See website for FAQs and tickets.
