Alresford watercress festival crowns champion as crowds surge back
The 21st annual Alresford Watercress Festival drew thousands of visitors Sunday, May 17, with a watercress-eating competition won in 44.2 seconds and food stalls selling out before mid-afternoon. The not-for-profit event, which shut down New Alresford’s streets for the day, raised over £7,000 for local charities while celebrating the region’s watercress heritage.
