Alresford Show

The Alresford Show is an annual one day agricultural show event held every autumn in Titchborne Park, near New Alresford in Hampshire, southern England, UK, and organised by The Alresford & District Agricultural Society (est. 1908). The first Alresford Show was held on Thursday, December 9, 1909; though no show was held from 1914-1919 or 1940-1944 (due to war), or in 1923, 1939 and 1952 (due to Foot and mouth disease), every other year has seen an annual display.[1] The show was cancelled in 2008 (centenary year) due to heavy rainfall and also cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19
