The Hottest Day Out In Dorset - The Great Dorset Chilli Festival - NEW VENUE!
To be held at the Stock Gaylard Estate, Sturminster Netwon
We are delighted to be back for our 10th anniversary on 31st July & 1st August 2021 at the new venue of Stock Gaylard. We'll have another great weekend for chilli enthusiasts, food lovers and families at an exciting new venue. 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 cook-off competition; 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 sauce manufacturers and retailers attending and some of the country’s best specialist chilli growers to showcase their plants and seeds to thousands of visitors at will surely be 2021'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!
