The Brit Fest has quickly become one of the North West’s most popular family music festivals, with its mix of legendary artists, family entertainment and community atmosphere making it a highlight of the local summer calendar.
Since launching in 2024, the event has grown rapidly, attracting tens of thousands of visitors and providing a major tourism boost to the local area.
The Brit Fest has been recognised with multiple honours including once again being shortlisted for Leading Live Event of the Year finalist at the This is Manchester Awards 2025 and Best Event or Festival finalist at the Visit Cheshire Tourism Awards 2025/26.
Festival Director Edward Prophet said: “We have been blown away by the support from Altrincham and the wider community. Each year, the festival grows stronger because of the people who believe in it and bring such positive energy to the weekend.”
Commercial Director Anthony Prophet added: “This festival is all about togetherness. We are proud to represent Altrincham on a national stage and to see so many local people playing a part in what has become one of the region’s most-loved events.”
The Brit Fest team is also inviting locals to get involved behind the scenes by joining the 2026 Volunteer Crew.
It is a great opportunity to meet new people, gain experience in live events and help deliver one of Cheshire’s biggest weekends of the year. Volunteers can find out more and apply here.
