Christchurch Cheese and Chilli Festival 2018

Gourmet cheese and chilli lovers are assured of a great day out at this year’s Christchurch Cheese & Chilli Festival taking place from 9–10 June at Hurn, near Bournemouth Airport.

But don’t forget to take younger members of the family, too, as there’s plenty to keep them entertained as well, with pig racing, inflatables and children’s rides, face painting, magic shows and balloon modelling, Punch & Judy, and more.

For adults, there’s a wide range of stalls offering a huge range of cheeses, chutneys and chilli-based items to try and buy, plus a beer festival, live music and a chilli-eating competition.

Visitors of all ages will enjoy the falconry display and the craft and shopping stalls. Then why not have your lunch and sit and listen to the live music bands and rock choir?

The festival is open from 10am-5pm each day, and adult tickets cost £8 on the day (£6 in advance) with kids going free. There are concessions for seniors.
