Alresford Show

Tichborne Park, Alresford

Alifetime of visiting the Alresford Agricultural Show has taught me that there are two ways to enjoy a day out at Hampshire’s – and possibly England’s – finest farming show. The first is to enjoy an all action day: turn up at the stunning Tichborne Park on the first Saturday in September and go flat out, hell-for-leather, and do as much as you can. Enjoy a session on the climbing wall, cuddle a beagle, and cheer on the Pony Club relays and Dog Scurry competitions. You can eat and drink your way round the many refreshment stands – perfect for a refuel before you head out for a boogie to the music, brought to you this year once again by the superb Alresford Uke Jam and their friends. And when (and ONLY when) your food has gone down a bit, round things off with a 99 flake on the way out.

The second way to enjoy the Show is more sedate: yes, you arrive early at Tichborne Park, but you stroll in a more leisurely fashion round the ground. You drop in on a stand, shake a few hands, have a cup of something, exchange a friendly insult or two (or ten), and move on to the next one, shaking more hands on the way. Drool over the farm machinery that the dealers have brought – at huge effort and expense - from far and wide. Enjoy the fantastic range of farm produce on show: the livestock (both mundane and exotic), and the arable produce. There’s food and drink to suit a slow day, too, with cheeses, honey, breads and charcuteries, and a huge range of wines and exotic spirits to match. Never forget the inner peace to be found during a session in the horticultural tent, or from maxing your credit card in the craft marquee.

Do it either way – it’s up to you. But make sure you’re here to join us farmers as we welcome you all into our world on September 3rd at Tichborne Park.
