Here at the Upton Cheyney chilli company we do not hold a massive festival on the scale of alternative large chillli events. Instead we hold a festival that celebrates UK chilli farming, with the main attraction being the chilli farm itself. We therefore sincerly hope that you visit the chilli farm during the festival, and enjoy both the commercially farmed poly tunnels as well as our spectacular show tunnel.
Regardless, the chilli festival is about chillies, and as such we have hand-picked a number of companies that we believe provide the very best of products in their class without duplicating product. For this reason, you will find the very best chilli sauces, chutneys, cheese, and oils, crisps, spices, seeds, plants and pottery. Furthermore you will be able to sample chilli drinks including Vodka's, Ciders and Beers, as well as trying our delilcious chilli burgers and sausages, with all beef and pork being reared here on the chilli farm.

Hot Headz - Chilli Sauces, crisps, nuts and sundries
