As a nation of cheese enthusiasts, we don’t think it would be over curdling the cheddar to say that pretty much any cheese-themed event is met with open arms (and open mouths) around the UK.

But, weeks of lockdown have slowed down our cheese consumption, which is not only bad news for our tastebuds but also small cheesemakers and shops across the country who are struggling for business.

Enter: the British Cheese Weekender.

It’s the UK’s first virtual cheese festival which you can enjoy from the comfort of your home. You learn all about your favourite cheeses, what to pair them with and scoff along to demonstrations and talks.
