Alresford Watercress Festival

Nationally acclaimed Annual festival attracting thousands of visitors to New Alresford to celebrate all things watercress.
Every year, on the third Sunday in May, the streets of this Georgian town are closed to traffic to transform the town into a friendly FREE festival.
From street markets, food & drink stalls, cookery demonstrations with renown world class chefs, the Hampshire Farmers Market, there really is something for everyone. For many the highlight of the day is the Watercress Eating Champlonship that takes place at 15:00.
Guests and prospective new members welcome.
