It will be taking over Portsmouth Guildhall on Saturday, June 6.
The organisers promise there will be an even bigger variety of delicious sausages than before – and they promise these are not the standard bangers you would find in your local supermarket.
They said in a statement: ‘We source from the finest butchers around the UK choosing the quirkiest and most adventurous sausages to bring to our festivals.’
They will also be holding two competitions: How many sausages can you eat in two minutes? And a chilli-eating competition, featuring the world’s hottest chilli, all while you are enjoying a pint or two of cider.
They added: ‘You can also enjoy incredible live music with our in-house band and live DJ acts, while you are enjoying a pint or two of our many delicious craft ciders and beers on offer.
'We love the real cider, we scour all corners of the UK looking for the finest, sweetest and tastiest cider money can buy.
‘Non-cider drinkers fear not, there's not just cider at this event, there’s fantastic craft beer, a gin bar, prosecco bar and soft drinks available.’
The day is divided into two five-hour sessions, from midday to 5pm and 6pm to 11pm. Tickets are from £10, and drinks must be bought with tokens available to buy in advance online or on site.
The event is strictly 18 and over only. For more information, go to sausageandciderfest.co.uk
