The Cheese and Chilli Festival is a fun, family-friendly event that takes place in the South of England each year. We are delighted that Step by Step has been chosen as the event’s official charity partner for 2025.
The event has a festival atmosphere, with stalls, live music, games and activities, attracting thousands of attendees across four locations: Christchurch, Winchester, Chichester and Guildford. This year the festival has the added bonus of helping to support young people facing homelessness.
Step by Step will be there in full force, with our own Cheese and Chilli-themed game, so why not pop by and say hello. You won’t be able to miss our purple and pink marquee!
