Flecky Bennett's Stockport Air Raid Shelter Experience | Stockport Air Raid Shelters | Thu 3 July | 6.50pm

We all love weird, wonderful and spooky stories!

And when the stories are based upon well documented accounts, witness statements and Flecky's own personal experiences, they then take on a new life (and Death) of their own.

Welcome to the weird, wonderful and spooky world of Flecky Bennett- described as Horrible Histories for adults!

Allow Flecky to welcome you onto his award winning Stockport Air Raid Shelter Experience, a firm favourite with locals, tourists and weirdos since 2018.

A collection of 15 new Smiley sculptures will be popping up in Stockport town centre soon.

From 4 July until 15 September 2025, the new sculptures will feature in a temporary outdoor art trail.

This 'quirky, exciting and fun' collection showcases the 'full spectrum' of human emotion, from anxiety to pride, joy to surprise, and everything in between.

Organised by SmileyWorld, Wild in Art, and Totally Stockport, this trail has already had 'huge success' in Battersea and Tyneside; Stockport will be the first location in the North West to host the sculptures.

Perfect for all ages, the trail will be spread across the town centre, and is designed as a 'self-guided experience'.
