Loqiva and Altrincham BID are proud to announce the launch of the Visit Altrincham digital town hub, a smart local platform designed to bring together residents, visitors, businesses, and community initiatives in one accessible place.
Altrincham is a town where heritage, commerce, and community thrive side by side. With a market charter dating back to 1290, a lively high street, and award-winning independent shops, restaurants, and artisan producers, it is a vibrant town that balances historic charm with modern ambition.
The town’s events calendar is packed with standout moments that draw thousands of residents and visitors each year. Highlights include A Taste of Altrincham, a ten-day celebration of the town’s independent food and drink scene, the Altrincham Festival & Grand Parade in June, and the Goose Green Festival over the August bank holiday.
Now, for the first time, the Visit Altrincham app provides a single source of information for these seasonal highlights, alongside easy access to local attractions, activities, and services. Residents and visitors can explore retail and dining options, while also discovering community groups, youth activities, wellbeing support, and local events.
Mandy White, BID Manager for Altrincham, said:
“The launch of the Visit Altrincham digital town hub comes at a pivotal moment for our town.
As outlined in our recent Business Plan, we’re determined to attract more visitors, encourage longer stays, and increase dwell time in the heart of Altrincham. Likewise, the plan commits us to create a clean, green, safe and accessible town centre, and to provide strong business support. Our new digital town hub will be central to achieving these goals.
Loqiva provides the very best of digital place management, giving us all the tools to listen to our community, boost our traders, and deliver real benefits to everyone who lives, works and visits here.”
The Visit Altrincham platform, designed and delivered by Loqiva, joins a growing network of successful digital town hubs across the UK.
Marcus Chidgey, Co-founder of Loqiva, said:
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Mandy and the Altrincham BID team during such an exciting phase for the town.
With independent businesses flourishing, strong transport links into Manchester, and a bold regeneration agenda underway, now is the perfect time to introduce the Visit Altrincham digital town hub. It feels like everything is in place for the future success of the town.”
The Visit Altrincham app is now available to download on the App Store and Google Play.
