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.[1] It was built in about 1850 and extended in 1937, and the interwar interior remains largely unchanged.[2]
