A Taste of Trafford’s Signature event “Taste Sensation” returned to Altrincham Market on Sunday 20th September 2009 with lashings of food, drink and entertainment.

The sun smiled on the event for the third year on the run adding to the already warm and inviting atmosphere. Around the edge of the market Restaurants from across Trafford set up kitchen serving small portions of typical dishes that might feature on their restaurant menu for the festival currency Tesetas. In the centre of the market Cheshire Cat Producer’s Market was joined by local and regional specialist food and drink retailers and producers and Sainsbury’s Try Team.

Thanks to sponsorship from Nikal and Altair this year we were able to expand the festival site and increase the amount of children’s activities. By closing Shaw’s Road we were able to add an additional area for seating and provide space for Juice Nursery’s Juice Bar and Children’s Activity Centre both of which proved a big hit with families.

The overarching 40’s theme for the entertainment to coincide with Battle of Britain Sunday was back by popular demand and although some members of the audience were too shy to join in those that did had a great time.
