Town & Manor and Hungerford Town Hall

Hope you are enjoying the summer so far and appreciate the green spaces around Hungerford including the Common. The cows are still enjoying their freedom on the Common and for their sake, as well as walkers and cyclists we request that drivers remember to keep their speed low, especially at night.

And a quick reminder that Hungerford residents and charities get a 20% discount on hire rates of the Town Hall complex (except for weddings), which, we hope you will agree, is a stunning venue for events of all kinds.

Howards Pet Care

 
Suzi and the team have everything you need for your two and four legged friends from premium dog food, chews, feeding bowls, beds, leads, bird seed to hedgehog houses and bags of dishwater salt.
 
Our range of Alpha Spirit pet food is very popular, being natural and cooked food for dogs and cats giving them as close as possible the balanced,  nutritious diet they would have had in the wild.
 
We also sell wild bird seeds, floating duck and swan pellets . Avoid giving bread if you can, it is not close to their natural diet and cause create wing deformities due to malnutrition. The surplus bread not eaten by the birds causes pollution in the water, especially if it is mouldy, and also attracts rodents.
 
Also, as ever, a full range of pet food, accessories, treats and toys.
