We are proud to have supported the community of Alresford with a contribution of £250 to the Alresford Agricultural Show, which took place on the 7th September.
Our donation was put towards the event’s prize money fund and was part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the community local to Alresford Down.
The Alresford Agricultural Show takes place on the first Saturday of September every year in Tichborne Park and celebrates rural life in Alresford and the community residing there. Each year, the park’s cattle grazing land is transformed into the event’s showground with the help of volunteers.
This year’s event saw a footfall of around 12,000 attendees, showcasing prize-winning animals, a variety of horse competitions, local food, drink and shopping stalls, modern and vintage machinery exhibitions, dog shows, and children’s entertainment.
Lorraine Bailey, Secretary for the Alresford Agricultural Show, said: “It was touch and go as to whether the Alresford Show was still on due to the amount of rainfall we had that week, but thanks to the ground management, dedication and sheer determination of the team all went ahead! A big thank you to everyone involved and to Taylor Wimpey for their generous donation from the people who made it happen, our members and the public for making it a fantastic day.”
Roz Wells, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties, said: "With construction underway at our Alresford Down development, we are delighted to support the Alresford community ahead of our development’s launch. This event not only allows Alresford residents to enjoy a fun day out but also represents and celebrates the rural identity this community is proud of."
