Eastnor ChilliFest is sure to pack a fiery punch when it returns to Eastnor Castle on Sunday 3 and Monday 4 May 2026 for the early May Bank Holiday.
What's on at Eastnor ChilliFest 2026?
A real celebration of the chilli, visitors can get stuck into all things chilli related, with a wide variety of delicious food and drinks to get their tastebuds tingling; kids can try their hand at the children’s cookery school; and keen cooks can learn some new skills at the cookery demonstrations.
And, of course, Eastnor’s celebration of the hot and spicy wouldn’t be complete without that chilli eating competition — the ultimate food challenge!
Is there more than chillies on the bill at Eastnor ChilliFest 2026?
The fiery festival promises fun for the whole family and has plenty to keep children entertained, with stilt walking and fire shows from the castle’s resident entertainers The Dapper Chaps; Bhangra Tots dance workshops to get the whole family moving; and a sparkly pamper lounge, offering glitter eyes, face and body art for little festivalgoers. Not forgetting the smoothie bike for pedal-powered smoothie making on the Lower Terrace.
While live music will be provided by acts including Los Squideros, Baixa Beats and Make Mine a Double.
All of Eastnor’s usual attractions will be open too, with the opportunity to tackle the Knight’s Maze or junior obstacle course; run wild on the adventure playground; take a gentle stroll by the lakeside and explore the woodland; or follow the rope swing route to soar through the trees.
