Both contests on Saturday and Sunday are now fully booked for competitors but do come and witness the brave participants torture themselves by eating some of the hottest chillis in the world!

National Chilli Awards 2011
As part of the National Chilli Awards, we are holding the ever popular Amateur Hot Sauce Competition to find the best home-made chilli products. It could be a sauce, pickle, chutney etc or something different such as a cake, pasta or alcohol.

Chilli Plant Growing Area
There will be a chilli plant growing area with growing demos by Craig McKnight, Wahaca's Chilli-Growing Guru and GroWell Hydroponics for both regular (soil) and hydroponic (soiless) systems. Bring along your chilli growing queries to the FFUK Chilli Gardeners' Question Time.
