Count-Alty’s Fang-Tastic Halloween Trail

Get ready for some spooky fun in Altrincham with Count-Alty’s Fang-Tastic Halloween Trail!

Altrincham is getting into the Halloween spirit this October, with a spooky town trail for little witches and wizards and a packed programme of events for families and adults to enjoy throughout the town.

At the heart of the Halloween celebrations is Count Alty’s Fang-tastic Halloween Town Trail. Organised by Altrincham BID, the team behind Visit Altrincham, the trail invites families to discover a mischievous gang of vampires, black cats, cheeky bats, ghastly ghosts and scary spiders hiding in shop windows and unexpected places around the town.

Count Alty has flown into Altrincham with his villainous Halloween gang, ready to prepare for his big Halloween party. But while he was getting ready, his spooky friends disappeared! Collect a Halloween Trail Sheet from Everyman Altrincham and head out around the town, keeping your eyes peeled for the spooky characters. But there’s an extra challenge: some of the characters have a special letter. Collect all the letters and they will reveal a hidden Halloween message...
