The 2023 Marmalade Competition, organised by Dalemain, is now open and ringers from all over the world are encouraged to enter the Marmalade Awards Campanologists’ category (other categories are available, and you may enter more than one category).

Dalemain National Marmalade Day will be held on Sunday 26th March 2023 with the Marmalade Festival taking place on Saturday 22nd April 2023, where the Borders Mini Ring will once again be in attendance.

The Homemade Awards can be entered by anyone, and there are categories from Children’s Marmalade to Merry (with alcohol), Campanologists, Any Citrus and many more, ensuring that no matter what kind of marmalade you make, there is a place for you! The full homemade entry fee goes towards supporting Hospice care, both in the UK and around the world.

Further details, the entry form and instructions are available at https://www.dalemain.com/enter-the-competition with the Campanologist category under The Homemade Competition section.

“The bells are ringing out for mar-mal-ade! Bell ringers of the world unite to ring in an annual peal celebrating marmalade. This particular category is dedicated to any campanologist marmalade maker. Do the two skills complement one another? Chime in with your best marmalade. Any citrus can be used.”

We would also encourage you to ring some Marmalade Delight Minor, something to get stuck into.

Good luck
