It was a shock night at Stockport's Garrick Theatre on Thursday (21 March), after a bus crashed into the corner of the building.

A 199 Skyline Bus - running from Buxton to Manchester Airport, hit an overhang above the theatre.

Emergency services were called to the scene just before 10.50pm. Emergency services assessed the bus, and the interior and exterior of the theatre, before removing the bus.
