Getting ready for the run up to Christmas thank you for all your support.

Hi all, we just wanted to say a massive thank you to all those who supported the Gower Chilli Festival through real adversity this weekend. It is truly heart warming to feel the positivity of so many of our family, friends and visitors. Thank you!

Hi everyone we had a phone handed in at the Festival. We think it may belong to someone called Gem / Gemma. If you can message us with details we can arrange for return. A.

Please could Gem DM us as we have found your phone at the festival!

Please could ‘Luis Ramos’ contact us ASAP as we have some of your lost property from the chilli Fest. All best. Gower Chillis. If you know Luis please get in touch!

Very good festival of chilies, in many different forms. Although did really see many fresh chilli variety. Plenty of ideas and great tasting of new foods - great for true foodies!! Didn't try the alcoholic beverages with chilli either, the alcohol content were high let alone the added chili aspect!! A little pricey for admission tickets especially for families but understandable. Thank you, see you next year...

Had a lovely day there yesterday. What a truly great day. Loved the bands, especially Big Feat. Well organised stalls. Would like to have been able to buy chilli con carne for lunch! Didn't see any, but maybe I didn't look hard enough! Can't wait until next year, wish it wasn't just once a year.

Had a lovely day at the chilli festival! May just have to camp next year :) Great stalls- so many yummy sauces, chutneys and cheeses to buy!

Had a fab time can't wait to come again next yr to do it all again well organised and fab for all the family x

Had a fab day out with Mum & sister. Amazing atmosphere, fab music & fab weather. Bought lots of chilli goods. Great day out. Roll on next year.

Great day. Good music, superb food and the weather was kind. Real lovely atmosphere.

Great day out!! We loved every minute of it - Definitely be back next year!!

Great day out gets better every year well done to all involved

Fabulous weekend. Thanks to Andrew and Sian with all their helpy friends. They Truely saved our bacon when they rescued our gazebo in the storm at 5 am. Event very well organised, a pleasant crowd attended, incredible hosts for whom nothing is too much and the sun shone down and so it should because Gower Chilis deserved it. Not forgetting of course the cause, raising funds for the RNLI who as we live on an Island we need as much as our other services and should not over look. Ok, I will stop before I slip off into a political rant and ruin what was an amazing time and a joy to attend. Restless Landscapes and GlastonBees hope to be invited back next year. ( we'll buy a better shelter :) )

Even with poor weather was still a good day! Great music and loved trying the gin and chilli beers see you next year

Come every year getting better and better, had the best day, ��� thank you rachel and bryan, lucky with the weather �

Brilliant.

Brilliant, we shall be there again this year. Lots of stalls all full of great, tasty products.

Brilliant day, great food, excellent beer, great venue, shame I live so far away.nothing like this in Essex.

An amazing weekend! Great festival, local bands were very good, lots of crafts, local produce and drinks. Even in the aftermath of a storm the show went on - highly recommend a visit next year.

Amazing effort by Andrew, Gower Chillis and the whole Chilli Crew. Even with the Welsh weather trying to throw a spanner (and the rest of the tool kit) in the works, the festival was amazing. All the hard work and planning put in throughout the year showed. The exhibitors had fabulous products, I've almost bankrupted myself as I've come home with carrier bags worth of amazing chutneys, sauces, fudge, chillis and ciders. The chilli eating competition, as always, was a highlight and will remain in many people's minds for a long time to come. The bands that played on Friday, Saturday and Sunday were all fantastic, we are so lucky to have that level of local talent and such a great festival to showcase them.

A very well organised event catering for all ages.. a great atmosphere and fantastic live bands along with very tasty food 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 will definitely be back next year 😊

My partner myself and quite a few family members went along to this event and we were pleased how amazing it was and will certainly go next year for

The whole weekend next time Well done to all who worked hard in making this an enjoyable family friendly event

Fantastic family event. We camped for the weekend which the children loved. I wouldn't pay again for the Friday night BBQ as by the time we got there all the food was gone. I would of liked to be greeted a bit more warmly as the organisers seemed very stressed the whole time. The facilities were poor and the only showers were shared and dirty. We had a fantastic weekend and the actual festival was superb, especially Dawn who ran the children's activities.
