Hampshire is known for its events, farm markets, funfairs, and festivals. Depending on the celebrations, owners can bring their families, cars, or musical instruments to participate in the fun events in towns in the area.
The Winchester Hat Fair
It’s an exciting time for musicians and artists when they can don their outlandish hats and fall in for three days of fun and music. Events and street performances are all over, with some against a backdrop of the majestic cathedral. The name is actually derived from viewers paying artists by putting money into their hats at the end of performances.
Alresford Watercress Festival
Alresford is named the capital of this green leaf vegetable, farmed with spring water, and appreciated for its many health attributes. During each year’s watercress festival, the streets are alive, with more than 15,000 visitors arriving to buy delicacies from over 80-foot stalls.
Simply British Classics at Beaulieu
It’s a classic car enthusiast’s dream when all classic car owners bring their cars to the New Forest in Hampshire for a show-off. Get together for a fun-filled day in the country. All pre-1990 classic cars built in Britain receive the opportunity to be shown off, and visitors will find various models from Austin, Riley, and Triumph to Lagonda, Humber and Sunbeams.
