Stockport Market is getting ready for a fun-packed summer, having just launched a new series of free family events taking place over the next few months.

Dubbed 'Saturday Snack Down', the events will be running once per month from June to October 2026.

They will feature food traders, live performances, and activities, and they'll all be completely free and un-ticketed.

The theme of the event will be changing month by month, too, meaning with every visit you'll be in for something new.

The first event, Mad Hatter's Street Party, takes place on Saturday 20 June 2026 from 12:00pm to 5:00pm, transforming Stockport Market into a colourful, imaginative celebration inspired by the much-loved classic.

A spokesperson for Stockport Market said: "Saturday Snack Down is all about creating fun, memorable days out for local families and bringing even more life and activity into the market.

"It's exactly the kind of event we love bringing to Stockport Market - something fun, welcoming and memorable for children and families to enjoy together.

"We want people to spend time in the town centre, make new memories, and experience everything that makes our market such a special place to visit."
