STOCKPORT HISTORIC MARKET 750TH ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND
4th September 2010

To celebrate the 750th anniversary of Stockport's market, there will be a programme of events at the town's market place on Saturday 4th September.

Take a wander down the historic street market with stalls representing key dates from 1260 to the present day to form a timeline of Stockport Market's history. Browse unusual stalls which will include haberdashery; candle maker; shoe maker; books; weights and measures; cheese and bread and Robinson's beer, plus stalls depicting the Civil War, Crime and Punishment and the Second World War.

Also, see strolling minstrels, rat catcher and through the lens of a Camera Obscura, see Stockport Market like you've never seen it before. Step inside Staircase House and Stockport Story Museum and try your hand at pin hole photography, explore the historic textiles, re-create the 1260 Market Place with junk modelling or join in a story-telling session.
