Stockport is set for a free street party with an interesting twist this month.

Move a Mile, taking place on Sunday 27 September from 11am-4pm, will feature a mile-long trail of different activities and performances, suitable for visitors of all ages.

Visitors can expect live music, break-dancing, street performances, painting workshops, skateboarding, and more - all staggered in a trail stretching through the heart of Stockport.

The route runs from Canal Street, through Stockport Underbanks, then along Great Underbank to Mersey Square.

After that, it goes past the Interchange, under the Viaduct, and past the bus depot before finishing up at Kingston Street.

It's being put together by The Coping (an events company) and GRIT Studios, the art studio behind projects such as Art Battle and La Boca to La Stocka.

The organisers promise "A one-mile celebration of creativity, community and wellbeing".

"It's a free, family-friendly festival inviting people of all ages to explore a vibrant one-mile trail packed with creativity, culture and fun", a spokesperson said.
