Dalemain remains the heart of the Awards, with the ceremony taking place in the grounds. There will be one homemade marmalade maker to take the accolade of ‘2024 Best in Show’ and have the chance to see their marmalade co-branded and sold by Fortnum & Mason.
Dalemain will be open with a full display of all the marmalade entries in the state rooms, as well as hundreds of Artisan marmalades from all over the world available to taste, Marmalade demonstrations, Question Times with the experts and an array of marmalade inspired delicious food in the Great Barn and Medieval Hall Tearoom.
Try your hand at juggling in our workshops going on all day for grownups and children and Paddington Bear will also be making an appearance.
Parking will be available on the day at the Dalemain estate.
