We’ve been busy planning some more great, Stockport town centre events for you for 2020. Into films? Could you be the next Sam Mendes or Steven Spielberg? Enter the Totally Stockport Shorts competition. Or perhaps Super-heroes are your great love: Comic Con is coming to Stockport on May 23rd.

As you browse through the pages of our latest magazine you will discover that Stockport has welcomed more new businesses who are choosing Stockport as their home and we’re not a bit surprised. With new restaurants and bars adding to the food & drink menu, a brandnew concept in pampering for mums at the Mama Sanctuary – see pages 10 & 11 and a new concept in Escape Rooms, Stockport has never had so much to offer. The former M&S building on Princes Street & Merseyway has an exciting future thanks to a major investment from developers Glenbrook – take a look inside on page 5.
