    July Spotlight

    July's a big one. Stock Party opens the month on the 4th; the free street party taking over the Old Town from Great Underbank to Robinsons Brewery Yard with DJs, live music and food from the town's best independents.

    The World Cup's still in full swing running through to the final on the 19th, so keep an eye on our pick of venues showing it around Stockport.

    Then it's a stacked second weekend with The Underbank Weekender showcasing 100+ local bands across 10+ venues, headlined by Phoebe Green at Holy Diver. Same dates bring the Asian Food Night Market, Maker's Market and the Vintage Spectacular at the Market Place.

    Stockport Pride takes over on the 26th; a full day of live music, drag acts and a parade from the Underbanks, then July closes out with good old Foodie Friday on the 31st.
