The Alresford Pigs Association is a registered charity that has been providing financial assistance to individuals and families in Alresford and the surrounding villages for over 50 years.
We raise funds by organising and supporting a variety of community events, including:
-
Managing entry gates, collecting fees, and offering security support at the annual Alresford Show
-
Coordinating traffic control at the popular watercress Festival
-
Hosting the much-loved bi-annual Duck Race
-
Installing, maintaining, and taking down Alresford’s spectacular Christmas trees and festive lights
-
Organising and performing the festive arrival of Father Christmas
Our focus is on community spirit, participation, and having fun. We always welcome new members—membership begins with a recommendation from one of our current members.
