Stockport's year as Town of Culture in Greater Manchester has sadly passed, but that doesn't by any stretch mean that the fun is over! 

Stockport Moves, the family-friendly sporting event spanning the town centre, will return on Sunday 9 June. 

Like last year, this iteration of Stockport Moves will feature a huge range of free sporting activities, and will no doubt attract thousands of visitors. 

Proceedings will take place from 11am-2pm, between the newly-opened Viaduct Park, and Mersey Square. 

Below is just a selection of some of the things on offer:

• Guided walks along the Trans-Pennine trail
• Guided cycle rides
• Bike 'MOT' sessions
• 'Holistic movement and wellbeing', hosted by local experts Upward Frog and Tides Within
• Yoga sessions
• Fitness challenges 
• Sports taster sessions
• Fastest goal challenge 
• …And more.

Further still, there will be food and drink available throughout the day from the town's quality local providers. 

Councillor Frankie Singleton, cabinet member for communities, culture & sport, said: "Stockport Moves is a showcase of all the wonderful opportunities for movement available in Stockport. 

"Last year's event was a fabulous success, and we want to build on that even further this year. 

"We want to make movement and physical activity inclusive for everyone, so I hope as many people as possible join in the free, fun and highly beneficial activities available on the day."
