Flecky Bennett's Original Stockport Ghost Walk | Stockport Plaza (meeting point) | Fri 20 March | 7pm
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 Ghost Walk, a firm favourite with Locals, tourist and weirdos, since 2018, and the winner of the 2022 Made in Stockport Award
The performance starts at 7pm outside Stockport Plaza, and is expected to finish around 9pm.
Antiques and collectors' fair | Stockport Town Hall | Sat 21 March | 9am-3pm
The longest running antiques fair in Stockport is once again at the stunning ballroom of Stockport Town Hall.
Up to 130 stalls will be piled high with a great selection of antiques, vintage and retro items. And with its convenient situation by the railway station and bus interchange, access couldn't be easier.
In addition, there is a large car park on Lacy street behind the town hall. Hot and cold refreshments available in the cafe.
"Cash admission is £2.50 or £2.00 with concessions per adult with accompanied children under 14 free of charge.
"If you are a seasoned collector or just starting on your pre loved journey , there's always lots to see and buy at this fair , now enjoying fifty continuous years on the Stockport antiques scene."
