Latest post from MARKSVEGPLOT – a blog about food and gardening in England”

This post is really just an advert – to make you aware of an upcoming chilli-themed event. It is the Challock Chilli Fest being held at Victoriana Nursery Gardens in Kent on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th October.

Chilli “Bolivian Rainbow”

I attended this event in 2014 and I can assure you it was a good day out! Here is what I wrote about it… Challock Chilli Fest 2014

*******************************************************************************

Here is Victoriana’s “Press Release” for this year’s event:

“There are Chilli Festivals and there are Chilli Festivals and we’ve been to more than one or two where we’ve struggled to find a fresh Chilli – let alone a Chilli Plant!

At Victoriana our Chilli Fest is just a little bit different – it’s all about the Chilli!

With well over 100 varieties of freshly harvested Chillies to taste, and the growing plants from which they were harvested to see, the centrepiece of our Chilli Fest truly is the Chilli!

From the infant beginnings of Stephen Shirley (co-owner of Victoriana) first starting to grow Chillies as a personal hobby 26 years ago, Chillies have become one of the specialities of Victoriana – supplying a wide range of varieties both as seed (many of which are produced at the nursery) and plants.

What started as a simple ‘tasting afternoon’ has grown over the years to first a day event and now, for the second year a full weekend.

Free to enter, visitors will be able to taste (for a small donation to charity) as many Chillies as they can manage, buy fresh fruits from the plants – or seeds for sowing next year. There will also be many stalls selling sauces, chutneys, and jams – as well as foods to eat on the day from Chilli Candyfloss to Chilli Coffee. Couple that with a range of arts and craft stalls (all who have to sell at least one Chilli themed item) and you have the perfect event for the lover of all things Chilli.

Challock Chilli Fest will take part at Victoriana Nursery Gardens, Challock, Ashford Kent TN25 4DG from 10.30am – 4pm on the 3rd and 4th of October 2015.

More information and a full list of the Chilli Varieties on taste can be found at https://www.victoriananursery.co.uk/Challock_Chilli_Fest/

We’ll also be updating our Facebook page and tweeting @Victoriana_NG regular updates prior to the event and over the weekend using #ChallockChilliFest

Donations from the Chilli Tasting will be distributed to The Mission for Seafarers and the RNLI

Thank you for taking the time to read!”
