About this Event
Pickle Fest will kick off with a communal fermenting workshop, Do-It-Yourself screen printing, a fermentation library and a range of activities. Later we’ll have our annual community-judged pickle competition, where anyone can enter a jar and everyone can taste and vote on their favourite fermented or preserved products. Whether it’s hot sauce or jam, we want you to bring your wildest creations for the competition to get the chance of being crowned a peoples’ pickle champion.
