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

Beginning proceedings on Friday evening is the Outside the Box comedy night at Stockport's Garrick Theatre, featuring a great lineup of comics.

Taking place on Saturday evening is a George Harrison tribute concert from Nick Bold, hailed as one of the best tribute acts for the quiet Beatle.

On Sunday is the Vintage Village Fair at Stockport Market Hall, featuring 60 traders offering books, fashion, furniture, and more.

Also on Sunday is a visit from Peter Hook and Clint Boon, who will be unveiling new murals in the town centre - unfortunately, this is a ticketed event which has sold out.

And taking place throughout the weekend is the family fun-fair at Woodbank Park.

Outside the Box is hosting a comedy night at the Garrick on 7 June, featuring Phil Walker, Faizan Shah, Daliso Chaponda, and MC Hayley Ellis.

Outside the Box comedians perform in a number of clubs across the UK, with legendary names such as Stephen Merchant, Bill Bailey, Dara O'Briain, Lee Mack, Jimmy Carr, and more all having made appearances for the club. 

This is not the only comedy night at the Garrick, with dates set throughout the year. Each night features four comedians from Outside the Box, including both circuit comics and brand new talent.  

As the club states: "Not only popular for recognisable faces, Outside The Box strives to find the best circuit comics and brand new talent to each and every venue. 

"Every bill is designed specifically for each club and we're proud to be known for having a group of gigs that are not only fun for the audience but also for the comedians who perform."
