With a handmade market, activities for kids and a unique book event, Bramhall's V E Day Celebrations on Saturday 10 May promise to be full of fun and educational too.

Stalls include freshly baked goods, intricate handmade jewellery, fun crafts, perfect gifts and homeware as well as authentic Turkish Streetfood, Hong Kong savoury snacks and locally distilled gin!
Alongside the market, The Activity Academy who provide a safe and fun environment for children to explore a variety of activities such as dance, crafts, sports, and games will be setting up a crafting table helping kids explore the 1940s and find out more about V E Day and the Second World War.
Local close-up magician, Simon Hobday - "Hobbers" will be in his bunco booth where families can marvel over his clever tricks and try some for themselves.
At 3pm, there's a special event in Bramhall Methodist Church on Bramhall Lane South, round the corner from the Village Square. Writer and historian Dr Tessa Dunlop will be talking about her book LEST WE FORGET and is joined by local veterans who can bring V E Day to life in a personal and unique way.
Entry to the market and activities is free. Tickets for the Book Event are £6 each, available on the Simply Books website https://lu.ma/lestweforget
SK1 Street Party | Merseyway car park | Sat 10 May | 7-11pm
The balmy warm weather is here, and with it a new iteration of Stockport street parties.
This time, however, instead of taking place in Stockport Underbanks, it will be hosted on the roof of the Merseyway car park.
The event takes place on Saturday 10 May 2025 from 7-11pm.
Organiser SK1 Records explained that last year's Underbanks events were so popular that they finished up over-subscribed.
It's why the location has been moved down the road to somewhere a bit more capacious!
Bringing the music this time will be Aficionado and Psychederek - find out more information about the artists here.
Tickets are £10 - get yours here.
