THE QUESTION must be asked, The question must be asked, will the Eastnor Chilli Festival have the hottest ticket in the three counties, this Bank Holiday weekend?

Now in its fifth year, the event that's big on fiery entertainment, including the eye-watering chilli eating competition, will attract hundreds to the castle, on Sunday, May 1 and Monday, May 2, from 11am to 5pm each day.

There will be a host of stalls "selling everything chilli, plus hot and tasty food, cocktails, beer and cider".

On the Sunday only, there will be cookery and cuisine demonstrations with The Beefy Boys and Felice Tocchini, and on the Monday it will be the turn of "Raw Food Rosie" herself, Rosie Purdye, Sticky Fig Catering and Rayeesa's Indian Kitchen.

Other attractions will be puppetry and live music with Los Squideros and Andalus.
