Hot Sauce Society lands in Birmingham this summer, bringing their inaugural Midlands festival to Digbeth’s iconic Custard Factory. The event will see over 25 independent hot sauce makers from the UK and beyond gather to serve up a feast of fiery flavours to Birmingham’s chilli lovers. Guests can expect to meet the makers, try, taste, and discover a whole world of speciality hot sauce. DJs will provide the soundtrack, whilst fierce food collaboration from Chef Brad Carter and Tacos el Pap will fuel the festivities. The bar will be fully stocked, featuring Attic Brew beer, exciting one-off collaborative beers, and tongue-tingling drinks from some of Birmingham’s finest cocktail slingers. Taking place on Saturday 9th July in The Custard Factory’s indoor events space, tickets are now on sale for both sessions (11am to 3pm / 4pm to 8pm) and can be purchased for GBP 7, including a cocktail on arrival (kids under 12 go free):
Guests are invited to sample sauces from the UK’s finest purveyors of fierce condiments, including Birmingham’s very own fiery flavour masters Pip’s Hot Sauce, as well as Epicuriosity, local creators of deliciously different small-batch dipping sauces. Highlights from further afield include sauces from Northern spice gurus DevilDog, Bristol-based Lipstick Cowboi, award-winning YoYo Laos, and frightfully inventive concoctions from Dean of the Dead. With over 25 independent traders to choose from and chat to on the day, every guest is guaranteed to find the flavour and heat level to perfectly match their palate.
Festivities will be fuelled by a line-up of street food legends.

Guests can also enjoy snacks from BBQ masters Prairie Fire.
Guests can stay refreshed and party-ready throughout the day with a stellar line-up of craft beers and cocktails that pair perfectly with the incredible range of hot sauce on offer.
