It is just 8 weeks to a lovely event to support the Overton Sheep Fair – the Popham Pedal in which anyone can take part.
It is being held on Sunday 14th May 2023
The Popham Pedal is a on-road cycling event over a choice of three signposted and marshalled routes around the scenic Hampshire countryside and will be raising funds for the Sheep Fair.
The Overton Sheep Fair has become one of the area's most notable and enjoyable events. The current format was introduced in 2000 to mark the Millennium as Overton had held sheep fairs from medieval times until the early 20th century.
Held every four years it provides a wealth of exciting activities with music, a fairground, procession, market stalls and exhibitions. The whole family is catered for.
The next Sheep Fair is on the 20th – 21st July 2024.
The cycle rides all start at Popham Airfield with a choice of an easy 15-mile, a moderate 40-mile and a challenging 60-mile route. There is a refreshment stop half-way, and mechanical support will be available.
