Anyone looking for things to do in Stockport over the summer holidays, especially if you don’t want to spend a lot of money, could do a lot worse that check out Stockport Council’s website and it’s handy events calendar. Today, for example, you might want to to see art by Manchester College students – at […]

Anyone who spotted the commotion, lights, vehicles, crowds, etc. around the pavillion on Scholes Field and under the railway bridge on the path from Foxland Road might have wondered what was going on. There was some filming for the Channel 4 show Shameless, and there might be some more around the village over the next […]

Thanks to everyone who made yesterday’s “Stockport Loves Bikes” event at Bramall Hall such fun.

Then there were the […]

Thanks are due to the organisers of the Gatley Rec Stream Clean – part of this year’s Gatley Festival. In all I think there were about twenty people helping out on Sunday morning, including a good number of Cubs, Scouts and their parents, and we not only cleaned up the stream where it runs past […]

Heald Green Festival seemed packed today – busier than I can remember it. And that’s both a bit of a surprise and testament to the work of the organisers as it wasn’t exactly perfect festival weather, with most of the day being cloudy and dull and parts of it being more than a little wet. […]

Mark Hunter and I visited the Word in Season Flower Festival at St Mary’s Church, Cheadle this afternoon. It’s running until Sunday and I’d encourage anyone to go if you can – it’s well worth the visit. The Festival celebrates the 400th anniversary of the translation of the King James Bible, and the different designs […]
