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

Running from Thursday 20th until Saturday 22 June is the annual Stockport Beer & Cider festival, run by CAMRA.

On Friday is something altogether more spooky - a ghost tour of Stockport town centre led by Flecky Bennett.

From Saturday and Sunday, meanwhile, a special edition of Stockport Alternative Market will take place at Edgeley Park, done in collaboration with Stockport Tattoo Convention.

Rounding off the weekend on Sunday evening is a comedy night at Malt Disley.

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 death) of their own.

Welcome to the weird, wonderful and ghostly world of Flecky Bennett, described as Horrible Histories for adults!

Allow Flecky to welcome you onto his award-winning Stockport Ghost Walk, a firm favourite with locals, tourist and weirdos, since 2018, and the winner of a 2022 Made in Stockport Award.

Join your ghost host Flecky Bennett for a performance in the oldest part of Stockport.

This event takes place on 21 June 2024 from 7pm, finishing at 9pm. Meet outside the Stockport Plaza Theatre!

The Malt Disley micropub will be hosting a comedy night from 7pm on Sunday 23 June.

In the lineup is Mike Newall and Dawn Bailey on the headline, with Kayvan Khazaee , Rheanon Lee and Matty Oxley in support.

One critic said of Mike: "A Stockport lad, now based in Manchester, Mike Newall is a charming and laid-back comedian with well-crafted jokes and a wonderful dry delivery.

"This is observational comedy at its best with razor sharp timing combined with a keen sense of dark sarcasm."

And as for Dawn, people can expect: "Pin sharp anecdotes from a life juggling a career, kids, attending weekly slimming club meetings, and the joys of involuntary flatulence. She's a very funny lady."
