Altrincham BID, the team behind VisitAltrincham.com, is once again partnering with Trafford College to create a vibrant town-wide art exhibition, running from Friday 13th to Tuesday 24th June 2025.

Now an annual event, the exhibition will feature a wide range of artwork by Trafford College students, displayed in shop and business windows throughout Altrincham. The initiative transforms the town centre into an open-air gallery, bringing creativity to the high street and offering a platform for emerging artists.

Each piece will be accompanied by a short description and a QR code linking to a digital gallery hosted on Trafford College’s website, allowing visitors to explore the full exhibition online. A downloadable map showing all the artwork locations will also be available at VisitAltrincham.com, helping visitors navigate the trail and discover each piece.

Jane Andrew, Head of Art & Design at Trafford College, explained: “We’re thrilled to continue this inspiring collaboration with Altrincham BID and local businesses. What began as a creative solution during the pandemic has grown into an annual celebration of student talent. The quality, ambition and originality of the work this year is exceptional, and we’re incredibly proud of what our students have achieved.”

Mandy White, Director of Altrincham BID, added: “This exhibition is a brilliant example of how partnerships between education and local business can enhance our town centre. It’s great to work with Trafford College again, and we encourage everyone to explore the displays, support the students, and celebrate the vibrant creativity they bring to Altrincham. We’re very grateful to the businesses who’ve offered their windows for the exhibition — their support is key to making this event such a success.  Why not make a day of it in Altrincham – follow the art trail, browse the shops, grab a coffee, or enjoy a bite to eat with friends.”
