Looking Forward to 2019!

The BID Team will be producing a packed programme of events for 2019.  Below are the details of some of them.  More dates will be added to the calendar throughout the year.

All of the BID's events support the objectives of increasing footfall, dwell time and spend.  They also raise Altrincham's profile locally and regionally making the town an attractive place to do business for both retail and the professional services.
