Paint Altrincham Pink Returns for 2026, from Monday 16th – Sunday 29th March, in Support of Prevent Breast Cancer
Altrincham will once again turn pink in 2026 as the Paint Altrincham Pink campaign returns to the town’s events calendar in support of Prevent Breast Cancer, the charity based at the Nightingale Centre within Wythenshawe Hospital.
Organised by Altrincham BID, the team behind Visit Altrincham, the campaign includes a programme of fundraising events and awareness initiatives, all with the shared goal of supporting breast cancer prevention.
Fashion Show Returns for Fourth Year – Thursday 26th March
A highlight of the campaign, the hugely popular Paint Altrincham Pink Fashion Show, will return for its fourth year in 2026. This year’s event will take place at Nell’s Pizza on George Street, promising an evening of style and fundraising fun.
The fashion show will feature collections from an exciting line-up of Altrincham retailers including Oliver Bonas, Monsoon, The Edit, Flair Boutique, Crew Clothing and Elite Pre-loved with more set to be announced in the coming weeks. Hair styling for the models will be provided by House of Finesse.
Tickets for the Fashion Show are available now via Eventbrite and early booking is strongly encouraged following previous sell-out events.
Pink the Rink & A Special Grease Screening
The 2026 programme will also see the return of Pink the Rink in partnership with Manchester Storm, taking place on Saturday 21st March. Fans are encouraged to wear pink and show their support at this special themed fixture.
There is also a special charity screening of Grease at Everyman Altrincham on Tuesday 24th March. Guests are invited to dress in their best Pink Ladies outfits and enjoy an unforgettable evening complete with pink popcorn and themed cocktails. Tickets are £10, with all proceeds going to the charity, and can be purchased here.
Throughout the campaign, businesses across Altrincham will once again get behind the cause by decorating shop windows in pink displays, hosting bake sales, creating special edition pink products from cakes to cocktails, and organising their own fundraising initiatives.
Mandy White, Altrincham BID Director said:
“Paint Altrincham Pink has become a standout moment in the town’s calendar. It’s inspiring to see so many businesses and residents come together to support Prevent Breast Cancer. We’re thrilled to be bringing back the Fashion Show for a fourth year and to once again deliver a fantastic programme of events that make a real difference.”
Further event announcements and ticket details will be shared via Visit Altrincham in the coming weeks.
