Did you know that our local cheese, Tunworth won the Supreme Cheese champion in 2013 – making it the best cheese in the UK and the second time it has won this prestigious award? Well, Tunworth and many other of our finest local cheeses will be available to taste as Greg James discusses the individual merits of our cheesy locals.

We will be sampling cheese from Lyburn Cheesmakers, Loosehanger and the High Weald Cheese amongst others so that you can discover your favourite cheese. There will also be spiced cider to accompany the cheese, so that you can end the first day of the show in warmth and deliciousness.

As many local dairy men struggled with the falling price of milk, they turned to cheese making with outstanding success. The UK now has a greater variety of cheese than in France, and many of them are made locally. As a result you will be able to make a fantastic, varied cheeseboard using only the finest cheese from Hampshire and Sussex.
