ALTRINCHAM market will be hosting festive, healthy cooking demonstrations as part of exciting festive celebrations taking place across Altrincham this year.

Avril Povah from the food company Nutrimens Food based, in Altrincham, will show that festive food can still look fantastic, taste delicious and be healthy and nutritious. All ingredients used in the demonstrations will be sourced fresh on the day from local suppliers.

The demonstrations will take place on Tuesday, December 17, and Friday, December 20 at Altrincham market between 11am and 2pm each day.

Avril will be on hand to answer questions about healthy food, give out healthy recipes and offer ideas for alternative Christmas fare for those who want to stay off the stodge this Christmas.

Joan Scott from Altrincham Forward said: “This event, run locally in partnership with a local business is crucial to realising Altrincham’s vision to transform and revitalise its town centre and create a sustainable market place.

"Local residents are invited to come along and support the demonstrations and take away a few healthy tips for Christmas.”
