It will be a return for Springo Bingo, which had a successful debut in 2024.

For those who haven't been, expect a lively and engaging twist on the traditional game, combining bingo with live performers, themed Easter entertainment and audience interaction.

The event forms part of Merseyway's Easter programme, which also includes a free Easter-themed craft session taking place earlier in the week on Thursday 2 April from 11am, offering hands-on fun for children while stocks last.  

Victoria Nichol, Merseyway Centre Manager said "We're delighted to bring Springo Bingo back to Merseyway after such a positive response in 2024. It's a fantastic way to bring people together while offering a fun alternative to the traditional easter egg hunts and Easter Bunny visits.

"We're looking forward to welcoming families for a day of entertainment, prizes and lots of Easter fun in the heart of Stockport."

Enjoy a guided tour of Stockport's architectural delights this Easter Saturday.

Meet outside Stockport Plaza at 1pm for the walking tour, which is around two hours in length.

A description for this event reads: "Come and discover Stockport's architecture on this friendly guided walk through the town centre.

"We'll start with a peep inside the magnificent Plaza Super Cinema, one of the finest surviving examples of Art Deco grandeur in the North West. From there, we'll stroll beneath the arches of the Viaduct and take in the brand new Transport Interchange before weaving through Merseyway — where you'll get up close to Alan Boyson's remarkable concrete screen wall, a piece of public art most people walk past without a second glance.

"We finish at the striking Stopford House, a bold statement in civic architecture that's well worth a closer look."

Tickets are £12, pre-booked only. Get yours here.
