Benington Lordship Gardens Chilli Festival, Stevenage

Started in 2006, the Benington Lordship Gardens Chilli Festival is a very popular family event, attracting thousands of visitors over the two day duration. Visitors are offered a chance to buy Chilli plants, products and sample foods from around the world. Stalls are set up in the sheltered courtyard and Rose Garden where many different dishes are cooked fresh. A wide range of refreshments is provided to help you cool down, including cold beers and ice creams.

The garden is open as normal during the event, so after sampling the produce visitors can relax in the grounds.
