With a festival tagline of “some like it hot… and some don’t”, you get an idea of the range of options available at this food festival. Expect a celebration of the noble chilli with chili related talks, cooking-with-chilli demonstrations, and of course the chilli eating competitions! Organisers are keen to emphasise that you don’t need to like chilli to attend as there’s plenty more food to try too, including some Dorset ice cream to cool your mouth down if you're brave enough to up the spice level.
