🥳 Organisers are celebrating after Trout ‘n’ About 2026 raised a record £12,500 for good causes in and around Stockbridge.
Thousands of visitors explored nearly 200 stalls at this month’s annual summer celebration of local food drink and crafts.
📣 T’n’A Chairman Bob Powell said: “We’re ecstatic! Trout ‘n’ About is all about raising money for good causes - and this year we’ve raised more than ever before.
“Our thanks go to all our volunteers, traders, sponsors and everyone who helped make this such a fantastic day.
“It really was a huge team effort.”
A record 23 local sponsors backed this year’s festival, including Gold Sponsors Access Care Hildon Natural Mineral Water Embley and Test Valley Borough Council
🙏 Bob said the support of Stockbridge businesses had also been particularly important.
“We had a great response from local businesses, especially the shops, pubs and restaurants on the High Street.
“They understand that Trout ‘n’ About brings thousands of power of people into Stockbridge and creates a fantastic atmosphere for the town. 🐟 🎣
“It’s brilliant to see so many of those businesses supporting the festival and helping us put money back into the community.”
The £12,500 record figure was unveiled in this month’s issue of the Stockbridge, Longstock & Leckford Parish Magazine.
Community groups and good causes will be presented with their cheques in a special ceremony at Stockbridge Town Hall in December.
