The Chilli Sauce Championships is back for its 12th year on Sunday 25th October 2026!
Contestants will be submitting their homemade Chilli Sauces to be tasted and judged by you, the public.
You will be given a voting card and will be tasting sauces with influences from around the world, so expect to see flavours of the Carribean, Africa, India, Thailand and more. Typically there are more than 40 sauces entered, so get those tastebuds ready.
The event is about flavour as much as heat, and there will be a range of heats which even a beginner can handle. There will be four categories of sauces to sample: mild, medium, hot and nuclear. And the “Yoghurt Station” will be back, for all those folk whose sizzling tongues need cooling down.
Want to enter a sauce? Entries open on 1st September. Sign up to our mailing list or check this website for the entry form.
