On 25th June, AVE Services was proud to provide the PA system for the Hannington Country Fair, held in the picturesque village of Hannington, located on the A339 between Newbury, Berkshire and Basingstoke, Hampshire.
A Day Full of Activity
The Hannington Country Fair is one of the most popular local events, attracting huge crowds — so much so that the queue for the car park stretched almost two miles back along Basingstoke Road!
Spread across two fields, the fair featured:
-
Over 80 sideshows and stalls
-
Fun games and raffles
-
Animal exhibitions and farming displays
-
Agricultural equipment demonstrations
-
Plenty of entertainment for visitors of all ages
There was truly something for everyone, making it a highlight of the local summer calendar.
AVE Services’ Technical Setup
To ensure clear announcements and smooth communication across such a large site, AVE Services supplied:
-
4-Horn Speaker System – Providing even coverage across the fairgrounds
-
2 Microphones – For announcements, commentary, and competitions
-
Independent Field Control – Each of the two fields could be managed separately, ensuring announcements were heard exactly where needed
This setup helped organisers keep visitors informed, run games and raffles, and maintain safety throughout the event.
Looking Ahead
The next Hannington Country Fair will take place in 2019, so keep an eye out for the signs along the A339 when it returns — it’s a day not to be missed!
