Those coming out to celebrate can expect rhythmic stepping, clashing sticks and swirling ribbons in Stockport town centre ...

Stockport is gearing up for an explosion of folk energy as the town centre hosts the largest gathering of Morris Dancers the UK has ever seen on 26th April.

It’s been the heart of the town for generations. Stockport Market, based in a Victorian hall with huge glass windows, has everything from fresh meat and fish to clothes, beer and bacon butties.
