The summer has arrived and that means that two of Hampshire’s hottest food festivals return to the county, The Cheese and Chilli Festival. The festival first launched in 2014 and has gone from strength to strength.
The chilli has come along way since starting it’s journey from humble beginnings in Mexico and has now taken over cuisine all around the world. Our love of chilli now comes in all forms, flakes, powders, infused oils, curries, chocolate, ice cream and of course cheese! This year the Cheese and Chilli Festival will be held in Basingstoke in June and Winchester in August.
Discover over 70 different stalls with tons of cheese and chilli products to suit all spice levels, there’s cooking demonstrations to give you even more inspiration, live music, beer festival and family entertainment including Punch & Judy Show. This is a great family day out and what’s more even you dog is invited!
