Visitors to a Hampshire agricultural show saw a prize pig of a unique kind.
This year’s Alresford Show saw a giant pig take to the arena as part of Hampshire Fare’s 25th anniversary celebrations!
The hog featured in the local food group’s logo was brought to life by the talented residents and workshop participants of The Lantern Community near Ringwood.
Constructed from papier mache and straw the giant pig was mounted on a tall stick and displayed on a cart along with a selection of Hampshire produce.
The cart was pulled around the main arena by horses from Bushfield Farm near Winchester.
The Lantern Community creates life-enhancing opportunities for adults with learning disabilities.
The hog was named Justin by the community and is set to make appearances at more anniversary events during the year.
