We want Town of Culture to provide opportunities for everybody in Stockport to be active and creative and also give people a chance to try something new. We’ve been asking people what they want to see as part of the programme and will take this into account in our plans.
If you are an artist or creative organisation working in Stockport you may have ideas about how you could contribute to our Town of Culture programme or how it could provide an opportunity for your practice to grow and develop. Let us know how we can make Town of Culture work for you.

“I’ve felt the cultural power of Stockport, and I came to your biggest cultural event in 2019, Edgeley Park, your very own Blossoms, it was one of the best nights I can remember. This year, we just want you to shine in that spotlight that we’ve given you, and it’s about where you’re going and the amazing talent you’ve got to celebrate right now. Someone once said you’re Brooklyn to Manchester’s Manhattan and I think that’s a pretty good place to be. You’re on the up and I hope to come back and back this year.”
Andy Burnham
Mayor of Greater Manchester
