Altrincham Festival

Altrincham Festival, the biggest free event in Trafford, is back on June 27th & 28th 2026 for a 49th year.

Our team of volunteers have worked hard to pull the annual event together, which includes the famous Grand Parade and two days of family fun at Beechfields in Timperley.

Altrincham Festival started in 1977 as part of the Queen’s Silver Jubilee celebrations. It has always been volunteer-run and not-for-profit.

The Grand Parade gives local good causes, charities and businesses the chance to showcase what they do.

Last year there were 48 participants in the parade, the largest turnout in over 15 years. Floats included tractors, show trucks, community groups, local schools, animals and local businesses.

The Grand Parade starts at 11am at St Margaret’s Road, travels down The Downs, Railway Street and Stamford New Road in Altrincham town centre before continuing over the Woodlands Parkway flyover on to Stockport Road; continuing on to Timperley Village, Park Road and Grange Avenue, before arriving at Beech Fields.

The showground will be open from 11am to 6pm on Saturday and 11am to 5pm on Sunday.

There will be a full stage line-up of choirs, bands and vocalists, across the whole weekend.

On both days there will be a Fun Fair, as well as a variety of food and drink stalls, local business stalls, Shetland Ponies, a full bar, and children’s activities.

Sunday brings you the hugely popular Car Boot Sale, and after going down so well last year our wonderful dog show returns; with categories including Golden Oldies, Rescue Dogs, Best Turned Out, Prettiest Girl, Most Handsome Boy, Best Trick, Waggiest Tail and Large Breeds.
