About

The Great British Truffle Festival is a one-of-a-kind celebration, connecting truffle enthusiasts of every kind, whether you're a foodie, grower, hunter, nature-lover or chef.

This festival is dedicated to showcasing Britain's distinctive truffle ecosystem through an array of engaging activities, including delicious food, interactive talks, hands-on workshops, live cooking demonstrations, and truffle hound training sessions that you can enjoy with your own dog.

At the heart of it all is the much-anticipated Truffle Hound Competition, a cornerstone of the event that not only celebrates the adorable, hard-working truffle dogs involved, but also underscores the festival's standing as a globally recognised hub for truffle enthusiasts and experts.
