Visitors and residents are being encouraged to download the new Visit Altrincham app, designed to help people make the most of everything the town has to offer including events, tours, exclusive in-app offers, a business directory, news and up to date travel information.

The Visit Altrincham app brings together event listings, business information and special promotions in one easy-to-use platform, making it simpler for people to plan a visit, discover new venues and explore more of the town centre.

With A Taste of Altrincham taking place from Friday 27th February to Sunday 8th March, the app is also the only place where users can access exclusive offers and promotions linked to the 10-day celebration of food and drink, giving even more reasons to download and explore.

The Visit Altrincham platform joins a growing network of successful town and city apps across the UK delivered by digital placemaking specialists Loqiva.

Marcus Chidgey, Co-founder of Loqiva, said: “We’re pleased to be partnering with Altrincham BID to support Altrincham’s continued growth. With a strong independent business scene, an award-winning Market and excellent transport connections to Manchester, the Visit Altrincham app offers a new way for people to discover and explore the town.”

The app plays an important role in supporting local businesses by helping to increase visibility, encourage footfall and connect visitors with what’s happening across the town centre.

Mandy White, Director at Altrincham BID, said: “If you haven’t downloaded the Visit Altrincham app yet, now is the perfect time. It’s a simple way to find out what’s on, discover local businesses and unlock exclusive offers, especially during A Taste of Altrincham. The app helps people get more from their visit while supporting our independent businesses and high street brands.”

The Visit Altrincham app is free to download and available now on the App Store and Google Play, with new content, events and offers added regularly.
