There is lots to do in and around Stockport this weekend!
Those looking for a more peaceful start to the weekend can visit the free cafe on Friday morning at St Barnabas' Church, Bredbury, for a brew and a chat.
Meanwhile, on Friday and Saturday evening, 'The Last Quiz Night on Earth' will take place at the Garrick in the final two days of its run; sure to be a top night of laughs and trivia.
On Sunday, the much-loved record fair at the Masonic Guildhall will return for the new year.
Later in the week, on Wednesday, Flecky Bennett will take fright-seekers on a spooky tour of the Stockport Plaza.

Community Cafe | St Barnabas' Church | Fri 12 January | 10am-12pm
A note from the organiser reads: "When Martin become Vicar of the Parish last year, I felt quite isolated at times not knowing anyone in the community. I noticed there wasn't a central meeting point in Lower Bredbury, which became a necessary part of my life once I had 3 children.
"The cafe idea received lots of encouragement as it's a chance for local people to gather together and chat about ANYTHING. It is easily accessible inside and out, a children's play area next to the tables, PLUS an adjoining comfy quiet room.
"The Community cafe is for anyone to come, sit and enjoy new surroundings."
The Last Quiz Night on Earth | The Garrick Theatre | Fri 12 / Sat 13 January | 7.30pm
A description for this event reads: "An asteroid is heading straight for us and there's nothing we can do about it, except join Landlady Kathy. She invites you to the final quiz night at The Four Horseman Pub. The night will be hosted by quiz master extraordinaire, Rav.
"Gather a team or go solo and answer as many questions as you can before time runs out. Be sure to expect the unexpected, you'll meet surprising visitors from the past who promise an explosive night (aside from the asteroid).
"This is your one and only chance to experience the famous Four Horsemen Pub Quiz, so what are you waiting for?"

We all love weird, wonderful and ghostly stories!
And when the stories are based upon well documented accounts, witness statements and Flecky's own personal experiences, they then take on a new life (and beath) of their own.
Welcome to the weird, wonderful and ghostly world of Flecky Bennett!
Described as Horrible Histories for Adults!
