Chilli Fiesta turns 20 in 2015!
Chilli Fiesta is an annual event in
which West Dean dedicates itself
to three days of chilli madness.
There is entertainment, food and
lots for you to do and discover
while you provide the enthusiasm
for all things Hot! Hot! Hot!
Make a weekend of it and
camp in the fabulous grounds
of the West Dean Estate, near
Chichester. Full camping facilities
are available throughout the
weekend.
You can watch food demos,
sample some delicious delights
and there will be plenty of food
stalls around to ensure your
hunger pangs are kept at bay as
well as three bars on site offering
a selection of beverages. Do visit
the Glasshouses in the Walled
Gardens which will be brimming
with over 250 varieties of chilli.
To give a real party atmosphere
to the weekend there will be live
music from midday until 11pm
each day across two stages.
