Hidden Altrincham is a major 10-day long event taking over venues in the suburban centre. The arts festivals includes more than 30 exhibitions which take in painting, sculpture, new media and performance, as well as an arts trail, live experiences and one-off, hands-on events each day. Highlights include an animation day at the FabLab creative space where families can make a plasticine character and animate it as part of an effort to break the Guinness World Record for a ‘community animated film’ (Sat 18 Sep, 10am-4pm, free, more info), a mass life drawing session (Sat 23 Sep, click here for more), and a ghost stories event in Belgium beer bar, Mort Subite, which is not only hugely atmospheric – thanks to a basement location and lashings of red velvet – but used to be the local hospital morgue (Sun 17 Sep, 8pm, FREE, more info) Most events are free.
