Held at the Harpur Suite, the third annual event attracted 600 visitors with the promise of free face painting and the chance to sample world-wide chilli products.

A range of products including those by Chef Bernie (with his popular Banana Ketchup) meant people could ‘try and buy a Chilli cyder, oils, chutneys, sauces, cheese, olives, even freshly made samosas. They could also buy plants to grow their own chillies.
