The third annual Australian Marmalade Festival kicks off this Sunday 7 October at Beaumont House from 11am to 5pm with an event showcasing all things citrus and marmalade!
Last week a team of judges spent two days tasting nearly 300 jars of marmalade to find the champion marmalade maker in the home-made and artisan categories. Come along on Sunday to find out who makes the best marmalade in Australia!
The GOLD winners will be announced at 1.30pm on Sunday and presented with their awards by Jane Hasell-McCosh, of the World’s Original Marmalade Awards UK, and Stephen Downes, Head Cook of Beerenberg.
You will be able to taste and buy a range of artisan marmalade, including the gold award winners, from our stall. Also on offer are citrus-themed produce and crafts, freshly squeezed orange juice, kumquat produce from ‘The Kumquaterie’, recipe books and citrus plants.
