Weir Mill will be hosting a free party featuring live music and a family-friendly rave this weekend.

The event is taking place from 11.30am to 10pm on Saturday 3 October, featuring a packed lineup across two stages.

Proceedings will unfold underneath Stockport's historic viaduct, in the centre of what is now the Weir Mill neighbourhood.

Already the spot is host to a range of bars and cafes, apartments, and small parks.

The lineup and timings have now been announced, featuring an all-local billing - every act who takes to the stage on the day is from or based in Stockport.

This includes:

• 12-2pm - Playhouse Project
• 2-3pm - Annie Fay
• 2.05-2.30pm - Pop Vox Choir (Stockport's community choir - live performance)
• 3-4pm NAM
• 3.05-3.30pm - Pop Vox Choir (second live performance)
• 4-5pm - Steve Macca
• 5-6pm - Bobby Thorpe
• 6-7pm - Hannah Pangolin
• 7-9pm - A Certain Ratio (DJ set)
• 9-10pm - Muddy Fee

And from 4pm, the café at Weir Mill will be taken over by Stockport record label, Before I Die, with a full Café Rave until 10pm.

Once again, it will be entirely comprised of Stockport artists, all connected to the Stockport record label scene.

Ant Powell, head of work & social at Capital&Centric (the developers behind Weir Mill), said: "Weir Mill has been years in the making and we think it deserves a proper send-off into the world. WEIR:LIVE isn't a launch event - it's a party for Stockport.

"We wanted every act, every artist and every creative involved to be from this town. The talent is here, it's brilliant, and it deserves a stage.

"We want people who've watched this place come back to life to come down, have a drink, hear some great music and feel like this neighbourhood is already theirs. Because it is."
