Default Tomato Festival
At the beginning of September 2005 a Tomato Festival was held....
somewhere in Britain by a nursery run by a lady. They are famous for their heirloom tomatoes.
Who can help me find the website of this Festival?

Hi Dutchy. I thought it was www.westdean.org.uk They have a tomato festival and also a chilli festival which are the ones (I think) that were featured on Rick Steins Food Heroes. However looking at the site I cannot see any seeds for sale.

Quite right it was West Dean College. For heirloom tom seeds I suggest that you try the association Kokopelli - French, but hey who cares, their catalogue of heirloom seeds is vast and the seeds are reasonably priced.(google the name for the web site) there is a site in the UK which distributes their seeds.

Default Spanish Tomato Festival
There is a different kind of tomato festival that happens in Buñol, Spain every August. http://www.hostelscentral.com/hostels-article-72.html
