Hungerford has a population of around 5,900 (2021 census) and a civic tradition that, by local account, predates the printing press.
Hocktide: A Tradition Older Than the Printing Press
Hungerford has held its Hocktide festival every spring since medieval times, with local tradition tracing the town's rights back to a charter granted by John of Gaunt in around 1364. Each year Tutti-Men and Tutti-Wenches process through the town, and the ceremony remains one of the oldest continuously performed civic traditions in England.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Hungerford shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent than relying on what's in stock locally. Hungerford shoppers might otherwise travel to Newbury or Marlborough for a wider choice, but delivery covers the same ground without the drive.
