The inaugural North East Chilli Festival will be held in the historic grounds of Seaton Delaval Hall, Northumberland on Saturday, 7 and Sunday, 8 July with a host of the UK’s top chilli producers.

And organisers are also telling non-chilli lovers the event will be a lot more than just heat - with a host of music, strolling bands, children’s activities, an international food marquee, picnic areas, history, walks, games and more.

Tickets for the event are now on sale – with an initial 2-for-1 and children go free deals being offered via the event’s website at www.chillifest-ne.co.uk and at mmm... in Newcastle’s Grainger Market.
