    What's happening in October

    Stockport's favourite sons are back. Blossoms open a pop-up shop from Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th just off the Market Place to celebrate their sixth album, Songs From The Wedding Cake, named after our very own Town Hall. Proof that the best things in SK really are homegrown.

    On Saturday 3rd, WEIR:LIVE throws a free all-day party under the viaduct at Weir Mill, with two stages, a family-friendly rave and a line-up made up of Stockport talent.

    Eat Good West celebrates its third birthday at St Mary's Church on Friday 9th, so expect all your favourite street food with a bit more of a party vibe.

    On Sunday 25th, Stockport Alternative Market brings its Halloween special to the Masonic Guildhall, while the Autumn Fayre fills the Town Hall with handmade stalls and more traditional fayre on Saturday 31st.
