Great Dorset Chilli Festival
Been and gone for 2026
Held on the Stock Gaylard Estate, the Great Dorset Chilli Festival is a weekend built for enthusiasts: pepper plants and seeds, cayenne to ceramics, some of the country's best specialist growers and sauce-makers, eating competitions, music and spicy street food. This is Dorset Naga country, so the heat is taken seriously. Day tickets are valid for either the Saturday or the Sunday.
