Welcome to Trafford’s largest town – Altrincham We generally bang on about how great city centre life is however, there’s a whole load of other cracking locations further out in the suburbs. Take Altrincham for example, let’s just stop for a second and appreciate Trafford’s largest town.‘Alty’ as it’s commonly referred to by the locals is a thriving and well-connected hub. Its host to a wide range of leisure activities and has more amenities than you could shake a stick at. For the ‘foodies’ amongst us, you’ll be in absolute heaven. The town is chocca-full of restaurants, bars and cafes – not to mention the quirky retail units and high end stores. From small boutiques to its large M&S, you can literally shop-till-you-drop. In the event that you get peckish (shopping is tiring work!), Altrincham Market has undergone a huge £175k makeover in recent years and now it’s one of the swankiest dining places we’ve ever visited. It’s managed to fuse street food with fine dining and boy has this formed a winning combination.By the admission of its very own dedicated website, the ‘prosperity of the town and its inhabitants are almost unparalleled outside the south east of England’. We reckon there are several factors why this is the case:1) Small businesses thrive in Altrincham.

Gyms, golf clubs and ice rinks are all on the doorstep. Boredom doesn’t exist and there’s little excuses for couch potatoes3) Speaking of doorsteps, Altrincham has a vibrant nightlife.
