Challenge Stage

There are laughs throughout the day with our Men (or Women) v Food challenges on the Challenge Stage. Any adult over 18 can take part as long as you sign the disclaimer and are up for a laugh!

The challenges start off gentle and get harder throughout the day. The first challenge is at 11:30 with Cracker Challenge, extensivly tested by the GBFF team with hilarious results.* At 12:30, as we head to lunchtime, the huge sausages are cooked and our Men v Meat competition kicks off. Want to see a grown man cry? NOW its party hour! GBFF quiz, party games and a giant conga! Join in on the fun for our birthday. Then the Challenge Stage is the place to be for our Chilli Challenge at 3pm. It's hard to watch and harder for our contestants to stomach - but whatever happens it’s great entertainment. We'll take our contestants from a Jalapeno all the way to the World’s Hottest Chillis - if they can handle it! Only one will walk away as the victor!!

We wrap up the fun with Pairs v Treat which is a dessert-based challenge where Pairs of competitors compete against other pairs to be first to finish platefuls of delicious goodies

It's only a fiver to enter each of the challenges and every penny will go to Charity. Sign up at the Challenge Stage on the day – be quick though as there is only a limited number of spaces for each event. As well as prestige, the winner of each challenge will win one of our coveted T-Shirts!

In between all that, on the Challenge Stage at 1:30 we taste and judge the cakes entered for our Cake Off. This is free to enter - bake a cake for the cake off and get into the festival for free! Find out more and enter
