We're so excited to launch our Summer Activity Map, lovingly created by the Lancashire Hill Family Group with support from Forever Manchester and Stockport Homes.

What's it all about?

This map is your go-to guide for free fun across Stockport this summer!

  • Pink stars = Free activities during the holidays
  • Yellow stars = Parks and green spaces perfect for a picnic or a play

We know summer can be a challenge, financially and mentally, for everyone, no matter your situation. That's why this map is all about making the most of what's already around us.

Let's celebrate the amazing assets we have right here in Stockport.

Indian cuisine discount | Turmeric Twist | (throughout the weekend)

Turmeric Twist in Bramhall is hosting a special offer.

In a special Happy Hour deal, they're offering pints for just £3.50 from Sunday to Thursday.

What's more, you can claim 10 percent off when you dine in if you use code NUB10 when booking online.

Or, claim 10 percent off all collection orders at this popular restaurant when you order online on Turmeric Twist's website or on EatBay.

Turmeric Twist is as close as you're likely to get to authentic Indian cuisine, short of visiting the subcontinent yourself. 

As well as their classic menu, they also have a specials menu which changes by the month.

And they boast an impressive 4.9 stars on Google Reviews.

Visit the Turmeric Twist website here.

Customers can book online or over the phone on 0161 440 9464.

The restaurant can also accommodate walk-ins, but it always helps to pre-book!

And one for the diary...

Mind Body Spirit Event | Stockport Masonic Guildhall | Sat 6- Sun 7 September

Another upcoming event in Stockport is the Mind Body Spirit event, taking place from 6-7 September.

A description for this event reads: "This event is designed to fully mesh with this genre, a great vibration, cultivated over a period of years bringing together like-minded people where you can feel at one, be at one, and just be imbued by the natural healing elements, whilst having an opportunity to try some of the many unique therapies that are featured at the event.

These enable you to support in your own self-care regimes. This is becoming increasingly important; in fact, it's never been so important as it is right now.

"So come along and join this uplifting social spiritual experience. It can very much be an educational and fun experience, too. This event endeavours to raise your spirits and lift your heart."
