Alresford Show
Today Penny & myself will be working alongside New Farm Chapel at The Alresford Show – a great day out – Curley’s mega second-hand bookstall, Penny’s face-painting and tea/coffee & chat provided by NFC. – gonna be a good one!
The Alresford Show is being held on Saturday 3rd September 2022. It’s a true agricultural show and makes for a great day out for all the family.
The day offers a wide variety of events ranging from livestock classes, in which cattle, sheep, pigs and goats from across the region compete for a coveted first prize, to an extensive display of beautifully restored and maintained vintage machinery. Traditional countryside pastimes are showcased during the falconry displays and the parade of hounds, beagles and bloodhounds while horses of all shapes and sizes are shown in the heavy horse, in-hand, side saddle, carriage driving and jumping classes. From donkey, dog and duck shows to racing sheep and ferrets there is never a dull moment at the Alresford Show!
However, when lunch beckons, visitors can find delicious locally produced food and drink in amongst the wide variety of catering stands and at the local bar and beer tent. There are great shopping opportunities with over 150 trade stands to visit as well as activities to try such as go karting and tree climbing. Children can let off steam in the’ Farm Yard Fun’ playground and be entertained by Punch and Judy shows throughout the day
