At either end of the taste spectrum, there's sweet and spicy. Whether you love dessert or prefer the heat, sometimes, these two flavour profiles go together like fish 'n' chips.

Helping you discover a new favourite combination or simply enjoy a range of local delights, Merthyr Tydfil's hottest event of the year is back as the Chilli and Chocolate Festival makes its triumphant return.

Get ready for a sensational day of fiery flavours and sweet delights jam-packed with a sizzling line-up of local creators.
