Alpraham formerly hosted the annual point to point for the Cheshire Hunt, towards the end of March. The event has now moved to a new location near Crewe.
Annually in September, there is a Village Day held on the Alpraham football pitch, with stalls and events such as tractor rides, a penalty shoot-out competition and a tug-of-war.
The Travellers Rest public house is on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. It was built in about 1850 and extended in 1937, and the interwar interior remains largely unchanged.
