Second UK Truffle Festival to take place at Plumpton Racecourse - early bird tickets available

Melissa Waddingham and Ben Sweet, the co-founders of the UK Truffle Festival, are delighted to announce this year’s Truffle Festival and Truffle Dog Championships will be returning to Plumpton Racecourse on Saturday November 11 2023. The inaugural event last year was a huge success, with a sold-out crowd of 500 attendees.

This year a main part of the event includes a truffle hound competition of varying categories Bronze, Silver and Gold according to skill; the winner of Gold gets the main prize of a certificate which is recognised within the industry for future work. We only had two categories last year but as it was so popular we added a bronze level to include more novices.

Melissa said: “Everything under the canopy of truffle that we can muster to have at our event will be included from scientific and fun truffle talks, other light-hearted dog shows and a, have a go truffle arena. There will be truffle food demos and wild food catering available to satisfy your hunger and curiosity. We always aim to have interesting and unique stands, selling woodland and fungi related items such as fresh truffles, inoculated trees, mushrooms, tinctures, local game and truffle cheeses, dog accessories, hunting tools and much much more.”
