ALTON Matters supported the town’s annual Walking Festival this year with a ‘Welly Boot Hunt’ around the town centre.

The aim was to identify colourful Welly Boot Hunt posters in the widow of participating businesses and string the letters together to form a word.

The winners of the competition, which offered prizes donated by Alton Matters traders, were announced during a presentation afternoon at The Swan Hotel.

Winner of the Sailaway Day, Farm beneath the water and M&S biscuits was Daniel Primrose.

Millie Burke won a 2DS, a frizbee and a bubble gun; Olli Rollings won tickets for the Mid Hants Watercress Line, a cricket set and a bubble sword; while Jack Hayman was rewarded with a tablet, a frizbee and a baseball bat.
