With almost 100 cheesemakers expected in the Cheese Market featuring over 400 British and Irish cheeses for you to see taste and buy this is the focal point of the Festival.

Discover the very latest stars announced at the British Cheese Awards the night before the Festival and rediscover Britain’s great regional cheeses from Red Leicester to Real Wensleydale, Caerphilly to Cheshire.

Plus you will find some of the 500 or more modern British cheeses created in the last 25 years like Quicke's Goat Cheddar, numerous ewe and even buffalo milk cheeses along with modern blues from Stichelton and Cornish Blue to three Scots - Blue Monday, Highland Blue and Strathdon Blue and many others

 

Last year we had huge queues to get into the market so this year the organisers have made some big changes in the layout to ensure this doesn’t happen again.  Plus we have invited the online retailer PONG to exhibit.  They will bring their usual selection as well as a wide selection of British and Irish artisan cheeses from producers who are too small or too far away to come themselves.

 

As well as selling cheeses at the Festival PONG also offers you the option of selecting your favourites and have them delivered anywhere in the UK.
