Alresford Michaelmas Fair
to
Broad Street, Broad Street, New Alresford, SO24 9AS
Broad Street closes to traffic for New Alresford's oldest surviving tradition: a Thursday evening of fairground rides, games and stalls that's been held on this date, in one form or another, since long before Britain even used today's calendar. Expect the usual mix of white-knuckle rides for teens, gentler ones for younger children, and hot food stalls up and down the street. Run each year by the New Alresford Town Trust. Road closures: Broad Street is closed to all traffic from mid-morning on Wednesday 14 October until early Friday morning, 16 October, to allow the rides to be set up and cleared. Plan parking and journeys through town accordingly. Date and times above follow the fair's traditional fixed rule (first Thursday after 11 October) and should be treated as provisional until confirmed by New Alresford Town Trust closer to the date.
