An art trail showcasing some remarkable Stockport-themed artwork will run until the end of the month.

Up until the last weekend in April (27-28th) you'll get the chance to admire artworks at different locations around the town centre, including the Hat Museum, all the way to Coffee Block on St Peters' Square.

Dubbed 'Visions of Stockport', this unconventional exhibition showcases unique artworks which were created collectively by more than 500 people. The artists came together in different groups, across a string of more than 30 separate workshop sessions, working on the art bit by bit.

The first framed pieces are at the Hat Works - after this, visitors can take a tour of Stockport to see the other artworks, which are dotted around the town centre.

Find a map of the artworks here.

You can also find an audio guide here.

Overseeing the project is the team at Self Care Creatives, who orchestrated the workshops where the art was planned, designed and produced.

The workshops took place across Stockport, welcoming people of all ages and backgrounds.

Stephanie Evans, founder of Self Care Creatives, said: "We wanted to create something that the whole community could enjoy – whether you’re out for a sunny stroll or tuning in from home.

"The Vision of Stockport is all about seeing the town through the eyes of its people."

The result is a body of artworks which use a wide variety of techniques and styles, housing the creativity and insight of more than 500 different local residents.

One participant summed it up by saying: "Projects like these are helping build up the community spirit"

The workshops were supported with the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
