Alton is a pretty, historic market town in East Hampshire. The peaceful rural setting offers an idyllic environment for family life while the convenient location (just off the A31) provides easy access to larger towns and cities.
There are five supermarkets in the local area for your day-today needs, a Tuesday market on the High Street and a monthly Hampshire Farmers’ Market promoting locally-produced food and drink. When you don’t want to cook you’ll find a wealth of dining options in the area, from gastro pubs such as The French Horn and The Greyfriars to chain restaurants, cafés and takeaways.
The Assembly Rooms on the High Street hosts weekly classes in dance, yoga, Zumba, Taekwondo and more. The venue is also home to the Alton
Operatic & Dramatic Society and the local Wey Valley radio station. The town has its very own museum and art gallery . Alton Sports Centre boasts two swimming pools, a large gym and a sports hall – catering for most fitness requirements – while for team games you will find local clubs dedicated to rugby, football, cricket and hockey.
If you like golf there are two popular courses nearby. Worldham Golf Club is less than three miles from Selborne Park and includes a coaching academy. Alton Golf Club is just six miles away and boasts a challenging par 68 parkland course designed by the architect responsible for the King’s and Queen’s courses at Gleneagles. Alton has a busy social calendar with a variety of organised events providing locals with the chance to get together for some fun and fundraising. These include not one but two Annual Beer Festivals (combining an appreciation of beer, cider, wine, food and music whilst raising money for local charities) and the Alton Classic Car Show, which sees hundreds of classic, vintage, American and mili tary cars displayed around the town centre during the day followed by live entertainment in the evening.
