We’re buzzing with excitement to announce that the Cheese and Chilli Festival is returning to Guildford in 2026 at the beautiful Shalford Park! 🌶🧀 After an incredible weekend in 2025, we can’t wait to be back with even more flavour, fun, and family entertainment — it’s going to be one to remember!

We are delighted to be back at the Stock Gaylard Estate on 1st & 2nd August 2026. We'll have another great weekend for chilli enthusiasts, food lovers and families. We're lining up a glorious weekend of “chilli fiesta”, with stalls selling all things chilli, from pepper plants to cayenne condiments; seeds to ceramics; artisan food producers; music; chilli eating competitions; spicy street food; local ice creams to cool the mouth; local beers to slake the thirst. We have some of the most dedicated independent chilli sauce manufacturers and retailers attending and some of the country’s best specialist chilli growers to showcase their plants and seeds to visitors at what will surely be 2026's hottest event in Dorset. The development of the Dorset Naga, at one time reputed to be the world’s hottest chilli, has really put Dorset on the map for chilli enthusiasts. Come and join us at this fun, friendly festival!

The Broadstairs Food Festival is a true celebration of community and local talent. Created to promote the town and its fantastic independent shops, restaurants and pubs, the festival champions the best of Broadstairs while encouraging visitors to explore the nearby Kent coast and its sandy beaches. The festival is a not-for-profit community interest company (CIC) run by volunteers. From its beginnings in 2008, the festival has been driven by a simple mission: to support local businesses, showcase small food & drink businesses and create an event that’s fun, inclusive, and free for everyone. That commitment to FREE entry remains at the heart of the festival today. Thanks to the incredible enthusiasm of producers and the dedication of volunteers, the festival continues to grow, bringing people together year after year to enjoy the very best of local food, drink, and hospitality.
