Exclusive boutiques and bustling markets make Altrincham ideal for shopping. There are also two theatres and the modern leisure centre close to the station. The Metrolink tram system across the footbridge will take you to Old Trafford station, for Lancashire County Cricket Club and Manchester United FC Stadium. A bus ride from the town centre takes you to Dunham Massey, an 18th Century Hall set in 250 acres of wooded deer park, which is managed by The National Trust.

The Friends of Altrincham Interchange (FOAI) is a local voluntary group committed to facilitating and helping to deliver improvements to Altrincham Interchange.
