The UK Truffle Festival

The UK Truffle Festival is Britain's premier festival dedicated to truffles and the dogs that find them.Visitors can try have a go truffle hunting with their own dog, taste fresh British truffle, and enjoy live cooking demonstrations, live fire cooking, expert talks, live music, the Truffle Cup Competition and a market of independent producers.

The winners of the UK Truffle Dog Championships, held in woodland the day before, are crowned at the festival.At its heart, the festival champions sustainable foraging.

Truffles are part of a delicate woodland ecosystem, and everything from the dog-led hunting the festival teaches to the talks from leading foragers and scientists is about harvesting responsibly, protecting these precious natural environments, and passing healthy woodland on to the next generation.
