Instead of posting your jar you can deliver it to an official Marmalade Collection Point:

🍊 All Collection Points open 1st January and close on the 23rd January 2026. Please note, Collection Points will not accept your jar before the 1st January. Three of the Collection Points have earlier deadlines (noted in pink below) due to logistics.

🍊Official close of entry is the 2nd of February. Any jars that have missed being delivered to a collection point can still be posted to Dalemain before 5pm on the 2nd. Any entries that arrive at Dalemain after this time will still be judged but will not be eligible to win the competition or any of the categories.

🍊All jars should be wrapped very thoroughly, as though to post. Collection Points always take great care with your jars but unfortunately cannot take any responsibility for jars broken in transit. 

🍊Payment should be made before delivering your entry to a Collection Point (by; online transfer, inclusion of a cheque or cash in your parcel) no collection point should take payment. 100% of the Homemade Competition Entry Fee is a charitable donation and the entry fee (cash, cheque or recognition of online transfer) is processed by our team when the jar arrives at Dalemain.

🍊Sites for Collection Points include: London, Norfolk, Newcastle, Lancashire, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Shropshire, Devon and in Edinburgh, Roxburghshire and New York.
Are you a farm shop, local deli or marmalade enthusiast and there is no Collection Point in your area? Contact us to find out about being a Collection Point in 2027.
