✨The most exciting cultural news in Altrincham this year

✨Presented by the Alan Forrest Smith Literary Foundation, the Altrincham Storytelling Festival arrives on 20th–21th June 2026 for a truly unique artistic gathering in the heart of Altrincham Town Hall.

Across two inspiring days, the festival will bring together storytellers, creatives, and audiences to celebrate imagination, expression, and the power of narrative. More than just an event, this project is a deeply personal tribute to big ideas and bold vision.

Many in the community will remember Alan—a visionary storyteller whose contributions to the literary world were vast, and whose belief in Altrincham’s creative talent ran deep. This festival was born from his idea: to create a space where that creativity could be seen, shared, and celebrated.

Now, that vision comes to life in collaboration with others who share his passion.

Full schedule, event details, and ticket information will be released soon, with more updates to follow. Stay tuned or visit their website to be the first to know.
