Get ready for a weekend of flavour, fire, and family fun at the Guildford Cheese and Chilli Festival – a brilliant celebration of food and entertainment in the heart of Guildford.

This lively two-day festival brings together an irresistible mix of artisan cheese producers, chilli growers, sauce makers, street food traders, and craft drink specialists from across the UK. Whether you’re a fan of rich, creamy cheeses or brave enough to chase the heat, there’s something to delight every palate.

Explore 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 packed programme of live music and entertainment throughout the day. From sizzling street food and loaded fries to indulgent sweet treats and refreshing drinks, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

The Guildford Cheese and 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 a 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 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 Guildford event.
