Enjoy a leisurely day shopping at
Altrincham Market……
Altrincham
Market has been retailing since 1290 offering a special quality
of service. The location and size of the market has changed several times
over the years and it is incredible to think that the original
would have been held in the middle of a settlement of wattle
and daub cottages!
Activities
then would have included bear baiting, cock fighting and public
floggings. Today
you can find inexpensive, specialized, top quality products
not found elsewhere. Following
on the middle ages tradition of produce bought and sold on the
market such as local farm products.
Most of the market is under cover with parking nearby
and many small shops and hot food outlets surrounding the market
place offer sustenance for shoppers.
