Three brave competitors remained in Sundayโ€™s Chilli Eating Competition โ€” but there could only be ๐Ž๐๐„ winner! ๐Ÿ†

One contestant was clearly feeling the heatโ€ฆ would they manage to take that final bite? ๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ

Watch as they dig deep, go for it one last time โ€” and we finally crown our Sunday champion! ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ

๐Ÿ‘ A huge well done to all three finalists โ€” rather them than us! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Saturdayโ€™s weather certainly gave us a difficult start to the weekend, but Sunday more than made up for it โ€” you really did turn Sunday into the new Saturday!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us over both days, supported our traders, enjoyed the entertainment and cheered on our very brave chilli-eating competitors. ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Congratulations to the winners of both competitions โ€” and enormous respect to everyone who took part!

Thank you to our traders, performers, hardworking team and, most importantly, all of you who came along.
