Cheese and Chilli Festival Basingstoke

About

The Cheese & Chilli Festival is returning to Basingstoke in the War Memorial Gardens in Basingstoke in 2018! They are delighted to bring the party back to the town they love.

The event will bring an amazing array of tastes, colours and experiences to town and is a ‘must go to event’. Come rain or shine, the event will be fantastic! For 2018 will see more cheese and chillies from around the world along with great Arts & Craft products.

The event has an obvious focus on cheese and chilli, but there will be something for everyone at the event and is a perfect family day out with free activities for children and adults to take part in as well as fun rides and games etc. Other entertainments include, Magic Shows, Falconry Flying Displays, Punch & Judy, Balloon Modelling plus lots more.

If that wasn’t enough, there will be a fantastic Beer Festival all weekend from the local microbrewery, Downton Brewery! Plus this year we have Dorset Mobile Bar’s fantastic Inflatable Pub and bar serving a wide selection of cider, lager, wine, seasonal cocktails and soft drinks – so there will be something for all the family and you can cool your palate down in our pub garden!

To complement the party, with a dedicated stage area with live music from many local acts will be performed at the event. Please see the schedule for notification of the bands playing at times etc.

Dogs are very welcome at the shows, all we ask is that they are kept on leads. There are some dog trade stands on site so they won’t feel left out.
