The National Trust's annual chutfest will be held on the 2nd and 3rd of October at Barrington Court in Somerset.

The organisers invite you to bring along jars of your home made preserves to swap with other visitors, or if you don't make chutney, you can learn how to from their resident chutney experts or buy the best quality local produce at their Food Fair.

This year there is also a competition with the overall winner spending a day with award-winning chutney makers, Tracklements, in Malmesbury.

Besides seeing how the professionals do it, the winner will see their own recipe being made by Tracklements to be sold at the 2011 Chutfest, with profits going to Barrington Court.

You can find out more information about chutfest 2010 here.

 There's even a face book group to join.
