Spectacular Sunday - the free all-day festival - makes a return to Stockport this weekend.

On Sunday 17 November, the town centre will be packed with music, activities, performances, and much more.

It follows a similar Spectacular Sunday event last year - the 2023 event was responsible for the biggest Sunday on record in the town centre since 2019.

This iteration of Spectacular Sunday promises to be no less impressive, featuring more than 200 performers in 50 different shows / activities throughout the day.

Performers will be spread across the town centre, around the Merseyway, Underbanks, Market Place, and more.

The fun will be running from 11am-5pm, and if it needs saying again, it'll all be completely free!
