The World Marmalade Festival: Drinks, Tastings & The Adfin Tea Party
You're invited 🍊
This April, Adfin is sponsoring the World Marmalade Awards & Festival - and we'd love you to join us for the weekend!
The festival is one of Britain's most beloved events, held at Dalemain Mansion, a stunning Georgian country house in the Cumbria What started as a small community celebration in 2005 has grown into a global phenomenon, drawing thousands of entries from Taiwan to Brazil, Norway to Northern Ireland.
Friday - Drinks Reception (6-8pm)
We'll kick off the weekend with an exclusive evening at Dalemain Mansion. Drinks, good company, and the beautiful backdrop of one of Cumbria's finest estates.
Saturday - Marmalade Festival (10am-4pm)
The main event. Thousands of marmalade entries on display, world tastings, talks, and the prestigious awards ceremony. We'll also be hosting The Adfin Tea Party on the lawn, with tea tastings from The Tea People - a social enterprise working to alleviate poverty in tea-growing communities.
Getting there
We realise the festival isn't on everyone's doorstep - so for guests travelling from outside Cumbria, we'll include an overnight stay for two at The George Hotel on Friday night. Available on a first come, first served basis.
