Winter Wonderland Comes to Trafford With The Alpine Village

Just when I was reminiscing the begone summer days, I was reminded of all the beautiful things winter brings.

Mulled wine, glistening holiday lights and of course Christmas markets - we experienced this and more at the atmospheric Alpine Village at intu Trafford Centre.

This newly opened delight has free entry and it is perfect for a day out experience which caters to young adults and families alike.

Nestled in a teepee, there’s live music, fire pits and bars making it a perfect winter necessity. I loved sampling the festive punch or two but there are quite a few drink options worth trying. There’s also a charming little photo booth that’ll capture your fun spirit.

Step outside and there’s a mini igloo and a whole range of treats to choose from right from German hot dogs in several varieties to burgers, chilli beef fries, Nutella crepes, halloumi fries and my favourite Yorkshire pudding wraps. Yorkshire puddings are something I look forward to every Sunday but to have the meat, vegetables and gravy in a wrap is a foodies dream come too and something I highly recommend you try!

So whether you’re taking a break from shopping or you’d like to unwind to some live music whilst sipping prosecco, mulled wine or hot cocoa, this place is open from 10 to 11 pm until 31 December and it is definitely worth a visit.
