There is lots to do in Stockport over the next few days.

Running throughout the weekend is the Craic by the Creek festival, described by the organisers as 'St Patrick's Day in the sun'.

Keeping up the music theme on Sunday is the vinyl record fair at Stockport Masonic Guildhall.

Also on Sunday is the start of a family event at Bramall Hall, as Nevill T. Bear's beast and bug trail begins.

'Craic by the Creek', an Irish culture and music festival, will return to Whitebottom Farm in July this year.

Described as "the UK's most authentic Irish and country festival", the event will take place from July 19-21, and features live music, camping, and cultural events.

This little piece of the Emerald Isle in Stockport is expected to attract around 3,000 visitors, in what will be the fourth iteration of the festival.

Headlining this year are B*witched, Nathan Carter, Mom & The Rebels, and The Tumbling Paddles.

Only a few tickets are left as of time of writing. Find more information HERE.
