Here's a fun cheese fact: scientists recently discovered that eating fistfuls of your favourite fromage can induce a euphoric effect (similar to that produced by taking morphine). And far be it from us to argue with the smart guys in white coats — we've been cheese addicts since day dot. Which is why we're giddy with excitement over this tasty morsel of news: a new cheese festival is taking over Newstead House on Sunday, October 1.
From 10am to 5pm, enjoy an eye-watering selection of cheese, charcuterie and condiments at the stunning, heritage listed property. If cheese isn't your steeze, then there will be beer and wine masterclasses with which to while the afternoon away. Plus, there's a lineup of live music and entertainment to help keep you out of that (inevitable) cheese coma. Entry is free, with all of the above edibles available to purchase on the day.
