A free Wicker Witches’ Town Trail is among a number of spooktacular events coming to Altrincham this Halloween season.
Organised by Altrincham BID, the trail will run from Tuesday 29th October to Sunday 3rd November.
Between 10am and 4pm each day, visitors can follow a trail across the town to uncover handcrafted wicker witches’ hats, spiders, bats and stars hidden around the town centre.
The trail is being sponsored by Everyman Altrincham and starts there, with trail sheets to guide participants.
Fancy dress is optional, but don’t forget to bring along your Wicker Witches’ Wand, which can be made at the OYEZ ARTS Halloween workshops on Saturday 26th October.
In addition to the trail, there are a host of other events and activities happening across Altrincham this October half term:
OYEZ ARTS Halloween Workshops, on Saturday 26th October, offer hands-on activities for the whole family, including Wicker Witches’ Wand Making, lantern crafting, comic strip creation, and gargoyle-making workshops. Join in the fun at Altrincham Town Hall from 10am.
