What's on in Arford

Hampshire, England

Arford sits quietly in Hampshire and manages to pack a punch when it comes to local entertainment. The Holly Bush has been serving up live music and community gatherings for years without ever missing a beat. It is rare to find such a steady rhythm in a village that doesn't need to shout about its charms. Pub nights happen regularly here, keeping the calendar full even when the weather turns grey. You can usually find a fair or two nearby if you fancy wandering round the high street on a Saturday. Near Here gathers these little pleasures so you do not have to hunt through a dozen websites for your weekend plans.
