With a thriving modern shopping centre, a historic core, and a family leisure complex located next to the train station, Stockport is a town of contrasts with plenty to offer.
If you visit Stockport at the moment you can’t but help notice the amount of building work that has taken place and continues to take place. Stockport has ambitious plans including a new commercial/retail complex directly outside the station, a new leisure/cinema complex in the town centre now fully in operation called the Light and a new Bus Station Interchange with a rooftop garden which opened in Spring 2024.
When you visit Stockport make sure you allow plenty of time to take in some of the attractions. Some to consider are; the Hat Works Museum, the Air Raid Shelters, built into the sandstone of Stockport and the Staircase Café, so named because of its rare Jocobean staircase. A multi-lingual audio guide is available on-site to take you through the history of the building.
