Win tickets to Artisan Cheese Fair

The UK’s largest cheese fair takes place in nearby Melton Mowbray and FIVE lucky readers of the Peterborough Telegraph will have the chance to win a pair of tickets each to the event.

With around 60 cheesemakers and some 300 cheeses to buy and sample, the Artisan Cheese Fair attracts turophiles (cheese lovers) from across the country. And these are not just any old cheeses that you find in your local supermarket, they’re amongst some of Britain’s rarest cheeses made by small artisan producers coming from as far as the West of Ireland, Kintyre in Scotland, Cornwall, Wales and the East of England.

In addition to cheese, visitors will be able to buy Melton Mowbray’s famous pork pies as well as cider, beer, cakes, wine and all good things that go well with cheese.

There’s a cheese theatre where you can watch talks and demonstrations and free tutored tastings including ‘wines with cheese’, and ‘Irish farmhouse cheeses’.

To be in with a chance of winning answer this question: What is a turophile? Email your answer and contact details to brad.barnes@ jpress.co.uk by noon on April 16.

The 8th Artisan Cheese Fair will be held in the Cattle Market, Scalford Road, Melton Mowbray. LE13 1JY on May 5 and 6, 10am to 4pm. www.artisancheesefair.co.uk
