An Evening With David Baldacci | St Mary's Church (Market Place) | Sat 25 July | 6.30pm

International bestseller David Baldacci will be calling at Stockport this weekend as part of an evening organised by the team at Serenity Booksellers.
David will discuss Nash Falls and it's action-packed sequel Hope Rises - two pulse-pounding new thrillers that introduce us to Walter Nash, an ordinary family man whose life is pulled into a dangerous underworld. David will be in conversation with Phil Williams and the talk will be followed by an audience Q&A and book-signing.
Tickets are £10.00 each or £25.00 including a copy of Hope Rises. Copies of both Nash Falls and Hope Rises will also be available to buy on the night.

Stockport's annual LGBTQ+ festival is back this summer! It's set to be bigger and better - and completely free to attend!
Join us on Sunday 26th July 2026 in Stockport's Historic Market Place for a full day of celebration equality, diversity, and inclusion.
With an unforgettable line-up of live entertainment on the main stage, from incredible musicians to show-stopping drag performances, we'll be keeping the party going all day long.
British Sign Language interpreters will be on stage throughout the day.
Take time to explore our fantastic mix of stalls, featuring local community groups, charities and independent traders. There'll also be plenty of delicious food and drink options to enjoy too.
Bringing little ones along? We've got you covered with a dedicated family area packed with activities. There will also be a quiet space available for anyone who needs a moment away from the hustle and bustle.
The day runs from 11am to 7pm at Stockport's Historic Market Place, and our parade sets off from the Underbanks at 12 noon - which you won't want to miss!
