THE town centre will be hot stuff today as a taste of Latin America comes to the town.

St Helens Chilli Village Fiesta – run by Chilli Fest UK and supported by St Helens Council – will be back in Church Square. 

It will see a variety of chilli producers from around the country showing off their products.

The event will include a chilli eating competition.

If you think you can handle the heat, St Helens Chilli Village Fiesta will take place in Church Square on Saturday, September 23 from 10.30am to 5.30pm.

Entrance is free.
