Get ready for a weekend of flavour, fire, and family fun at the Chichester Cheese & Chilli Festival – a fantastic celebration of food and entertainment in the historic city of Chichester.
This vibrant two-day festival brings together an exciting mix of artisan cheese producers, chilli growers, sauce makers, street food traders, and craft drink specialists from across the UK. Whether you’re a lover of rich, creamy cheeses or a fearless chilli fan chasing the heat, there’s something to suit every taste.
Wander through bustling market stalls and sample everything from award-winning cheeses to dangerously hot chilli sauces (taste at your own risk!). Enjoy chilli-eating competitions, live cooking demonstrations, and a full programme of live music and entertainment throughout the day. From sizzling street food and loaded fries to sweet treats and refreshing drinks, there’s something for everyone.
The Chichester Cheese & Chilli Festival is proudly family-friendly, with plenty to keep children entertained. Expect fairground rides, interactive activities, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that makes it the perfect day out for all ages. Friendly dogs on leads are welcome, so the whole family can join the fun.
Set in a fantastic outdoor location, this festival is about more than just food – it’s about community, discovery, and enjoying a brilliant summer weekend together. Come along with friends, bring the family, meet passionate producers, and experience the very best of cheese, chilli, and live entertainment.
Big flavours. Great vibes. An unmissable Chichester event.
