If you like your food spicy then Victorianna Nursery Gardens will be the place for you to visit for their Challock Chilli and Craft Fair. There are over 150 varieties of chilli to taste, and they are all freshly picked. We know they are freshly picked because they are also all grown on site. So this event will appeal to people interested in chilli or botany, and every possible combination of the two!
So the chilli stands boldly in the centre of the festival but there are lots of other things to look at and do. There is a wide range of stalls showing off everything from hand made items to artisan liqueurs. The liqueurs are created from locally sourced produce. The crafts will appeal to all members of the family.
There is also a selection of real curries from the Canterbury’s Curry Club, and other delicious cuisines from around the world.
Of course, you will find some delicious chutneys and chocolates, and all the food comes from the regions local farms and producers. Small scale producers are really encouraged here, they are championed to show off their talents and to bring them to the attention of more people than ever.
For children and writing fans we have Claire Burgess, signing her Lottie and Dottie series of books for children.
With the lovely Crabtree Farm Cottages nearby and Broadhembry Caravan Park you will be spoilt for choice if you want to stay the weekend; you can make that escape to the country and enjoy the Challock Chilli Festival!
