This year’s  International Cheese Awards is set to be bigger and better than ever before. Entries for this year’s awards finally closed on an incredible 4,443, beating the all-time record of 4,268 set at last year’s show. Good luck to the  judges in sampling all that cheese. The show takes place as part of the wider Nantwich Show, which includes displays, fun stuff for kids, loads of free samples and celebrity chef demos - and much more. Tickets for Show Day on Wednesday 30 July are available via the Nantwich Show website (http://nantwichshow.co.uk/buy-tickets/), with big savings to be made by buying in advance. For example, you can save £10 by buying a family ticket (two adults and two children) via the website for just £35 rather the £45 this will cost on the gate. You have to book tickets for the Celebrity chef demos seperately - this is a popular event after all. They cost £5 each and the timetable is as follows:

10.00 a.m. Jonathan Harrison

11.00 a.m. James Martin

12 noon Will Holland

1.00 p.m. Sean Wilson

1.45 p.m. Jonathan Harrison

2.45 p.m. James Martin

4.00 p.m. Will Holland

We have one family ticket up for grabs which allows two adults and two children entry to the event on Wednesday 30 July. To be in with a chance of winning please send an email to [email protected] with "CHEESE" in the subject line. Please include your name, age, Twitter handle and phone number. Competition closes at midnight on Wednesday 16 July.
