Alresford Music Festival 2018
2018 will be the ninth AMF and is on a not-for-profit basis, organised entirely by local volunteers and money raised is given to charity. To date over £35,000 has been raised and shared with deserving good causes, community organisations and through its registered charity The AMF Foundation; music based charities… and that is particularly why the festival is so special to the Alresford and surrounding community.
