Chilli Festival
« on: June 22, 2006, 07:06 PM »
Hi all,  Just to remind anyone in the West Dean area in West Sussex on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th August that it will be the annual Chilli Festival.  Gates open 10-10.30 and you can buy anything chilli thats possible.  Different foods to eat, chutneys and pickles, chilli chocolate, plants to name but a few.  Last year I bought an apron with chillies on and also an umbrella, black with lovely red chillies all over it.  I like to be different!  It's well worth a visit.  We could almost use it as a venue to meet up with one another once a year - what do you say?

It's really well worth taking a look Stew and Jethro  We go every year and thoroughly enjoy it  Just hope the weather's better this year.  Gates open at 10am so try to get there as early as possible as it gets really crowded later on.  CQ
