Artisan Cheese Fair

Share

For the 2017 Fair, 69 Artisan Cheesemakers from across Britain & Ireland attended who make between them 300 cheeses.  This year we expect over 70 cheesemakers. Many of them are small producers who rarely travel outside their local farmers market to sell their cheese.  Some produce the UK’s rarest cheeses only available direct from the cheesemaker.

Our events are all undercover – so don’t let the weather put you off
Exhibition Halls, Cattle Market, Scalford Road. Melton Mowbray. LE13 1JY
