Further details can be found in the Village Hall section. You may have noticed some changes to the website. Apart from the obvious cosmetic changes, we have included a more user friendly calendar for the Village Hall together with an interactive map for its location. We do still get calls asking where the Village Hall is! Come in and have a wander around the site - you might be surprised to learn what's happening in your village! | Inter-Village QuizThe annual quiz challenge between Old Alresford and Bighton will be taking place on Saturday 14th November. This year the quiz will be hosted and organised by Bighton and will be held in the Village Hall. We aim to produce questions which are not too challenging and which help create a fun, competitive evening in which everyone can participate.

Many thanks are due to those that have given freely of their time to make it happen.
Bighton Fete
The ever popular Bighton Fete was held on a sunny Sunday on 13th September 2009 on the cricket pitch/rugby field. The Fete saw the return of many favourites such as the Dog Show and Goldwing rides together with an area especially dedicated to children. Initial indications are that the Fete Committee's efforts resulted in takings that were up on last year.
