Calling All Spice Lovers: The Lakes Chilli Fest is Back!
Do you have a passion for heat? Love all things hot, spicy, and mouth-wateringly tempting?
Then hold on to your glass of cool milk. It’s the Lakes Chilli Fest 2015!
Set over two days at the beautiful Dalemain Estate Mansion, this spectacular event is a culinary haven for anyone who loves a good kick to their food. It starts at 10am - with free entry for under 16s - and there will be exhibits from some of the biggest names in the chilli industry, including local producers and artisans from across the United Kingdom.
So if you’re thinking of heading to the Lake District this weekend, then we have everything you need to know about the Lakes Chilli Fest.
Lakes Chilli Fest 2015
This really is the perfect event for anyone who loves spicy food. From chilli-infused real ale, to homemade curries, and brownies that pack a serious punch, the Lakes Chilli festival has earned a reputation as being one of the best food festivals in England.
There will be over 80 fantastic exhibitors showcasing their produce at Chilli Fest 2015, including:
Hot Stuff Chilli Company
More? The Artisan Bakery
Fallen Angel Brewery
Chilli Pepper Company
The Wiltshire Chilli Farm
Grim Reaper Foods
Coffee Bug
Northumberland Sausage Company
Beyond the exhibits, Chilli Fest also has some impressive entertainment up its sleeve - including a chilli eating competition (of course) and acoustic musings from local band Soulutions.
Booking your tickets
This year’s chilli festival will be hosted on Dalemain Estate Mansion, located on the historic grounds, and open from 10am - 5pm.
You can purchase advanced tickets for just £4 or buy on the day for £7 - but tickets are selling out fast. So we thoroughly recommend that attendees book sooner than later to avoid disappointment.
