Stockport, United Kingdom skyline: the 49 most iconic buildings and best views in Stockport

Such an amazing historical gem! Was fascinating walking around a house that's stood since 1600s. Ideal for all the family, except really young children.

Lived here all my life and never visited before. Well worth a visit. Great history

I enjoyed this activity. I found it interesting to see how our ancestors used to live. Lot's of information on the history of the house scattered around. Audio recording available for each room. Friendly and helpful staff. Lift access to all three floors. Lovely gift shop. At £5.50 per adult, great value for money. I would recommend.

I think we've been spoilt by all the other old houses we've visited, as we weren't overly enamoured with staircase house. It only took us 15 minutes to walk through the whole thing including writing with feather and ink. The furnishings are very basic. The best bit is probably the basement you do get more of a feel for the place downstairs, maybe its all the moderns bita that throw me off! What was interesting though is the floors and walls that are all wonky, I'm actually amazed its stood the test of time as it has. £5.50 for adults and under 16s are free

Absolutely loved it!! Such history and a self guided hands on tour. The staff were very informative and the depth of knowledge from one gentleman was amazing. Lots of rooms to explore and plenty of historical clothes and artifacts to investigate. Great value and an all round pleasant experience.

it was indeed a lovely place to learn about British history and even a very quaint little place to sit down and just rest. I listen to some music of the 18th century and then sat down and wrote a bit on quilts. It was a truly enlightening experience. The audio guide, however, does indeed need to be upgraded. My audio guide broke down halfway through the door and never worked properly again. Overall, it was a brilliant experience and I would like to come back again with friends.

The place is really nice. Staff really friendly. It's really kid friendly, somthing to do for them in all of the 16 rooms. They give you a little pack for each kid to do on the way round. The audio guide was very informative and had some minor acting in it. If a little boring. 😂 I would recommend a visit if you are old or young or a family with lots of kids as it's quite fun to explore. You can easily kill a hour here. £5 per adult.

Great experience, hosts are very knowledgeable. If you visit when it is quiet the experience is something else as you have the tunnels to yourself

I visited the shelters to capture content for work. Brian was an excellent host who made the experience both informative and engaging. The shelters are exceptionally well maintained and offer a meaningful way to reflect on our history.

An enjoyable visit, it really gives a feel of what it was like to be down there during the war, with plenty of artefacts from that period still there. I wasn't given an audio guide, so maybe they don't exist now?

It is absolutely worth a visit. We had a good time looking around. It is important to remember the past, and this is a chilling reminder.

I had never heard of this place until recently. Very intuitive place to visit providing an insight and information about how lives would have been saved having access to these shelters. You can find out about sites the enemy had targeted. The shelters do give you a sense of what people had to go through. You can spend an hour here. Staff are very friendly, jovial and have a great sense of humour; especially Roger! Excellent place for a day out. As it is in the centre of town, you can park in any of the paid parking lots in and around the area. Great place for everyone to learn more about the price that has been paid in the past for today’s freedom!

Loved going here and gained some knowledge into the atmosphere and cramped conditions people would have been in under very extreme circumstances in the war. Very handy using hand held electronic guides to give insight into how things were and the staff were lovely and friendly.

Very interesting place to visit. Amazing tunnels and great information about them (not too little, not too much). About an hour, may be bit more. Loved it!

Great specialist museum showing the history of hat making from the Middle Ages onwards. The displays include an interesting mix of machinery used as hat- making became mechanised. Highly focused. Excellent displays. Lovely cafe and a museum shop with a good selection of merchandise. You can book onto a guided tour, which I recommend as the guides are knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Thoroughly recommend this museum.

I really like the hat exhibition in this museum. It shows me that hats can also be used to express individual personality. I also like the display boxes with various themes. However, I cannot accept the wrong map marking. In the map of picture1, Taiwan is marked separately instead of being part of China. This will send the wrong message and political stance to young people who come to visit. As a Chinese, I think this is really unacceptable.

Never been before. It is well worth a visit. We went for the guided tour with the very informative Liza Ward. Thank you Liza we really enjoyed our visit.

What a great museum! Fantastic place to explore the local history of the incredible hat making industry. Fun for all the family, with great exhibits and interactives. Check the opening times / days to avoid disappointment.

We've always loved the Hat Works! We've taken our kids and now the grandkids to visit it! It's always interactive and interesting! Now that Arc is part of it it's even more fun! The cafe has some wonderful baked goods and super sweet staff!

Great experience at the museum, there are thousands of hats on display and we even got to try some on, which was really fun. The staff were also super friendly and welcoming. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the pink shopping bag from the gift shop. Unfortunately, it wasn’t waterproof, and when it rained the colour ran and ruined my friend’s clothes. I think it would be worth considering different bags, especially since it rains so often here. Thanks again for a lovely visit!

Don't be fooled... It's free to visit!! (It's only £5 if you want a tour) Me & wife and 1 year old had a great time exploreing the place. It's got 3 floors, top floor is nothing. Middle floor is 100' of hats to see over the years, and a great area to try on funny hats! + Kids play area. Bottom floor is for the older generation with all the machines showing you how they made them. Very interesting.

Lunchtime recital, Chris Powell playing the Wurlitzer pipe organ in the Town Hall Ballroom. Chris's repertoire is vast and in the hour covered: Bach, Lloyd-Webber and ABBA, among many others. Bravo Chris!

Amazing architectural wonder 👌 Perfect spot for plane spotting too✈️

Lovely building with great architecture. Definitely worth a look if you are thinking of having your wedding reception there.

We got married here- small wedding on the Marble staircase. 17 of us. Mille & her team were amazing. Thank you so much

Really beautiful town hall with plenty of events happening all year round.

Lovely place ❤️❤️

Great venue for a school concert. Bit chilly but lovely building

Absolutely amazing place to visit. So much history and things to see. I wouldn't go with kids under 11 as they'll get bored easily if they aren't interested in history.

A Visit to Bramall Hall After a long crawl on the motorway, delayed by an accident, we finally arrived at Bramall Hall, a magnificent black-and-white timber-framed Tudor manor set within 70 acres of sweeping parkland. Once we’d paid the small parking fee, we made our way to the lovely café for a restorative cup of tea and a snack before stepping back in time. Much of the building is covered in scaffolding due to building work, but this does not deter from the great experience once inside. Bramall has a long and fascinating history, first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 when the Saxon owners, Brin and Hacum, were displaced by Norman overlords. Over the centuries, it passed through the Bromale family and later into the hands of the Davenports around 1400, who left an indelible mark on the estate. Inside the house, every room whispered stories of the families who lived there. In the Solar, much of the original wall painting is currently protected during building work, but one tantalising section remains visible. A digital screen nearby allows visitors to imagine the room as it once was, with richly decorated walls and full of colour. The Neville Room offered another glimpse into the past, with a surviving section of wattle-and-daub wall, hundreds of years old. The real highlight here, though, is a breathtaking Gothic-style credenza, designed by A.W.N. Pugin and crafted by J.G. Crace; a masterpiece of craftsmanship that immediately draws the eye. Upstairs, the Paradise Bedroom revealed more secrets. This was the chamber of Dorothy Davenport, who lived here until her death in 1639 at the age of 77. Beside the fireplace, a hidden priest hole, a reminder of the dangerous religious tensions of the time. The Withdrawing Room was equally impressive, with a striking lime-plaster ceiling and a grand cabinet of unknown origins, but dating from the 17th or 18th century. A short film revealed the painstaking restoration of the ceiling, which is now the room’s crowning glory. Climbing further, we reached Mary Neville’s boudoir, a private retreat filled with quiet charm, the kind of room where one could easily imagine passing long afternoons with books or embroidery. The Davenport Bedroom followed, complete with its own dressing room and washroom, offering a glimpse into the private world of the family. The tour finished in the servants’ quarters, beautifully presented and full of period detail. The kitchen, with its heavy range, stirred particular memories for Tim, it was identical to the one in his childhood home in the old coal board workers’ houses of the northeast. Our Historic Houses membership gave us free entry, but we were struck by the affordability of Bramall Hall at just £6.50 (or £5 for over-60s). It’s the best value of any historic house we’ve visited, especially given the richness of the experience. Before leaving, we gladly added a donation to the collection box, a small token of thanks for such a memorable day.

Amazing place! So well preserved! Learning about the building, all the changes and renovations that were done there, the families who owned the place - felt really eye opening.

A place of great historical interest. There are unique parts of the Manor from the 1400's that are worth a visit on their own, especially if you're interested in historical buildings. There are lovely gardens as well, which I haven't seen due to bad weather. Coupled with the low price for visiting, nice staff, and everything being accessible, it's a great place to visit.

This property is looked after by Stockport County Council and is quite staggering . Its mainly tudor and is free entry if you are a Historic house member. Staff we met were all pleasant. There are info boards and touch screens in each room that shows interesting videos and pertinent info about the items in the room. There is a cafe on site and a large area of parkland . Car park is reasonably small and may get full at weekends. A property of the highest order

Lovely place to wonder around the house maybe under scaffolding but you still get to see how beautiful it is. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the cafe staff were super friendly as well and the price was well worth the visit, even just walking around the garden was worth the visit

Beautiful place lovely house set within lovely grounds. Parking is very limited unfortunately The cafe serves lovely food with friendly staff but is on the small side. This is a very popular place for people to visit so parking is a major issue, an early start or midweek visit when not as busy probably better.

Awesome place to shop and roam around. Coffee shops, bars, old buildings lovely place

You can probably find anything you need, goods or services, within this gigantic, beautiful architectural masterpiece, with a bus station, the Stockport Interchange, just beside it. The premises are being cleaned up round the clock, with indoor and outdoor sitting for the eateries, great views from the top, and plenty of parling available. Bring your children along: the little ones will fall in love with stationary cute vehicles with real-life sounds. The kind of place to go when you have a lot of shopping to do and you want to eat out somewhere in-between.

Must say I found my latest visit to stockport surprising. A step away from the main city centre, with shops and everything, you have this relaxing, peaceful pocket of the town that stuck in time for its 19th century architecture and slow pace charm. On the sunny summer days, this is a welcome change from the busy city life

While visiting Merseyway today, my Husband twisted his knee and was unable to walk. And the car was on the upper floor carpark. After a moment of panic I remembered I'd seen a staff member. I quickly tracked him down and explained the situation. He contacted his manager who was able to provide a wheel chair. The first member of staff then accompanied me to my husband, helped to get him into the chair and the took him to our car. He waited to make sure my husband was able to get into the car before leaving. Brilliant service. Without their help I'm not sure how we'd have got away so quickly. Thank you.

Easy to park close by ,large array of shops ,banks ,cafes and restaurants,all the big names in close vicinity,several nice pubs ,several shop units boarded up but still a good shopping centre .

Just a short walk from the bus station, so didn't need to take the car. Inside was clean and bright.

Great open space shopping centre has most things from clothes shops, toy shops , has some good places to eat and drink. Kept nice and clean decent parking spaces 👍🏻

Visited on 27/12/24. Beautiful venue, the preserved art deco history is awesome. Loved the old traditional organ playing at the start and in the interval too! The Sleeping Beauty production was good. Actors were great, especially the star, Wendi. Sound was excellent. Audience participation was a bit lacklustre. Panto is supposed to be an interactive experience! The only feedback I want to pass on is that given the restriction on bringing sweets and drinks in, the refreshments provision could have been better. We managed to get a tea, a coffee and two fizzy drinks, but it was a real palaver - the staff in the cafe didn’t seem to know what was going on, didn’t know how to make drinks, there was no card machine, no price list. I would have spent more but it was total chaos so only ordered the minimum which cost £7. When we go to the Palace Theatre we’d typically spend £40 in the cafe, so you’re missing out on a load of additional revenue by a lack of preparation.

Love the venue. So we'll restored and friendly staff too. Seen comedy twice there recently and its a very pleasant experience. (As well as great comedians) Just a slightly complicated seating numbering system we eventually worked out in the circle. Odd numbers to the left even numbers to the right.

Great venue for stand up comedy, not so big that you lose the feeling of being part of the show. Good slope on the seating so the view from further back is still ok. Comfy seats, easy to get in and out, lots of parking nearby.

My wife and i went to this grand old plaza / theatre recently for BBC Radio Manchester extravaganza for children in need. It was good to see bags being checked before you go in . Inside, they have a relatively small bar and seating area with not much room because of how old it is staff were friendly & welcoming and pointed you in the direction to where your seats are. there was plenty of room for your legs as this can be a problem for some of these old theatres .Bit of a queue for the toilets, ladies and gents are downstairs. It is a lovely place and well worth a visit

Fantastic venue Fantastic staff We enjoyed Oh what a night show it was brilliant

Great venue, friendly staff, lots of near by parking

I was treated to a tour of the Plaza as part of a birthday gift and I can honestly say that it's one of the best gifts I've ever received. I love art deco architecture and styling and in every department, the Plaza delivers! I can't begin to say how impressed we were at the condition and beauty of the place. It is exquisite and is a credit to all of those who have had a hand in restoring this gem of a building to its former glory in such an incredibly authentic manner. It's obvious that everyone connected with the Plaza loves the place! Our guide was smart, funny and knowledgeable and really added to the experience. We will definitely be returning soon.

Terrible. After booking in November, we thought we were going for the tasting menu in Stockport. After arriving and realising they had relocated, and a £25 Uber later - we were bitterly disappointed. Apparently, between January and March, it’s a burger menu. Not only did we put down an £80 deposit we were then served the greasiest food I think I’ve ever had. My arteries are going to take a while to clear. The burger was swimming in oil along with translucent chips, flabby oysters, And onion rings, which would give the healthiest human a heart attack. The wine we wanted was no longer an option and we were served an olive-brine style wine. To be honest, I would have rathered a McDonald’s - it would have tasted nicer and been less greasy. Terrible, disappointing, overpriced, experience.

Excellent meal for my birthday. We were slightly late as we struggled to find the restaurant as it was quite tucked away. But glad we found it. An amazing venue. Loft style, wooden beams and exposed brickwork. Completely open plan kitchen so you can see everything being prepared. Staff were so knowledgeable about the food and wine. The wine list was the most extensive I’ve ever seen (orange wine!). Now the food. It’s a set tasting menu consisting of five courses. Sides are available as optional extras (we ordered mayo chicken, and cheese for afters). Every dish was tasty, fresh and amazing flavours. Portions are small but we expected that. Definitely recommend. However, food intolerances are not catered for but this was made clear during booking.

Was really looking forward to this as a 30th birthday treat. Unfortunately it was underwhelming and I feel a bit gutted to have spent so much money on it. I appreciate this style of food is never large potions and I've had other fine dining experiences which have met standards. I have to agree with other reviews regarding portions here with dishes being shared. For £75 I ate 3 tiny mussles, 2 spoons of soup, a few florets of green cauliflower, half a chicken breast and half a baked Alaska. It was all tasty but nothing stand out flavour wise. The desert was the highlight but again a shared dish of one tart between 2. Spent an extra £25 on the extra starters and would have definitely left hungry if we hadn't. The only meat was chicken on the night we went - even from the starters menu - so would have liked to see more variety. The wine pairing was good and can't fault the service and atmosphere but sad to say I left feeling disappointed.

We visited here for a birthday gift and had been looking forward to it for some time but was sadly left super underwhelmed. We’ve been to our fair share of fine dining restaurants so we’re aware of the portion sizes and structure of the meals. Sharing dishes that would just about cover one person is very disappointing. Personally for me it went far below expectation when our server presented some Romanesco Broccoli florets in baking paper, told us this dish ‘came with some theatre’ to which she then used scissors to cut open the paper and reveal a few florets Broccoli.. which again was shared. We was bewildered at the time and didn’t really process it all until friends asked how it was and we described one course “we shared a single chicken breast and 2 bitter leaves” that made us feel pretty silly. I will say though the baked Alaska for the final course was great. No complaints on this. The service was attentive and relaxed in the best kind of way, the restaurant itself has a great vibe too, but the food put me off rebooking anytime in the future sadly.

A relaxed yet elevated dining experience, the team here are definitely focused on delivering not only a fine dining tasting platter but also engaging the customer in the journey of the food and wine. It was such a relaxed experience even though you are literally in the kitchen and watching how they prepare and deliver your food. The food may seem small but the flavour certainly packs a punch and if you really want yo elevate your experience then get the wine pairing and enjoy the delicate and robust flavours that it brings to the dining.

The food was lovely but portions were really small and were mostly sharing. Eg 4 small mussels to share. Main course was 1 chicken breast and 4 lettuce leaves to share. It definitely needed some sides. Or another chicken breast. We ordered the bread when we realised we may still be hungry - which was lovely. At least the dessert was one each. Service was friendly but was disappointed by the whole experience sadly. Have had fine dining and tasting menus before so maybe was expecting too much. Anyhow, make sure you aren’t too hungry when you arrive!

We went to WTLGI for our anniversary and it was fantastic. The food was excellent. Good variety of flavours to try. The staff were delightful - they explained every dish to us and were friendly and welcoming throughout. They all felt relatively equal too, which improved the experience. For example, the chefs would occasionally bring meals to us and do exactly the same explainer as the waiting on staff. No one felt like they were “beneath” any particular task.

Wonderful and very helpful staff. They had everything to help our 3-year-old enjoy looking around. We paid for the stair house, but the museum was free, so we did both. You can eat inside the museum if you ask as there's a dedicated table, but just one. Collections inside are interesting and wide ranging. Lots of interactive tasks for you get children. Worth a visit.

This is a lovely museum and also includes a wonderful house,it's a great place to visit

Very surprised at this place. I had lived in Stockport for 4 years and had no idea this really well presented free museum was hiding in the Center of Stockport. Lots of toys and games for my 2 year old and lots of interesting artifices to learn about even things dating back thousands of years from the local area. Will definitely come back again and friendly staff.

Came here as a back up plan after an event in the town centre was cancelled. Honestly glad the event fell through. The staff were lovely and the kids had lots of fun learning, finding the character around the museum and playing on the top floor. Would definitely return.

Part museum, part old home. The home was originally built in the 15th century. It has 2 main floors, accessed by stairwell & lifts (lifts located near the main entrance). Each room is themed with items from the 1500's to 1940's (when the house was last lived in). You have can view the rooms in your own time or have a audio guide. The museum is connected to staircase house and delves into Stockports historic past & present. Staircase house is opposite the main market hall in the town. It has a cafe & gift shop. Staff are very friendly & helpful.

It was a great place for a family day out, my daughter had lots of fun, there are many activities and role play sections. It's not overwhelmingly big , so we spent two hours and a half approximately, there is a nice small gift shop. The ladies were so kind and friendly. Highly recommend.

It's free! And it's great for young kids. There are 4 floors, with each floor with its own exhibition. The bacemet changes every few months but at the moment it's a strawberry studios exhibit. (2017 Dec) The rest has lots of history about Stockport with lots activities for the kits to do in each room. It's actually quite interesting! Lots of photos of how Stockport looked back in the day. Even an 1950 kitchen! Even had a hot point in it. Lol

A nice small car park off road parking, nice place to walk,I'd say it's quite flat,sould be OK for wheelchair access, recommend some one pushing, GRAVEL PATHS,PICK A DAY WHEN CHAPELS OPEN ,tea coffee.

Took my friend here he had trouble walking so me and him did five miles I walked he was on his mobility scooter and we ended up in chadkirk chapel lovely day and nice scenery he really enjoyed it. Definitely recommend a visit here

Really pleasant and interesting area. Lovely walk through the ancient woodlands and by the river. The history is amazing. Definitely worth another visit.

Beautiful area with gardens, fields and walks around the area. One goes up behind the chapel and through the woods to the canal. Further along brings you back to the chapel. Lovely walk! On the other side is a big river with walks both ways...

Chadkirk chapel is a historic former Chapel owned by Stockport Council. On the last Sunday afternoon of each month volunteers from The Friends of Chadkirk open it to the public, serving tea, coffee and a selection of cakes. There is often live music. There are special events, the busiest is the annual well dressing in July when St Chad's well is beautifully decorated. The dedication is accompanied by an old fashioned village fete. Information is available on the Friends of Chadkirk website.

Had our wedding at Chadkirk Chapel which is an absolutely breathtaking building

A sunny wander around here, the Chapel is lovely. Only open on certain days. We drove by many times so we decided to visit .

An amazing building with the only cenotaph in the UK being inside. There are different exhibitions on which are all superb. Free entry and wonderful staff. The building is steeped in history and I highly recommend visiting.

Staying in the town of Stockport for a couple of nights and exploring its fascinating history. I visited the art gallery which is unique in the UK as far as I know because it is also a war memorial. The latter is located within the neo classical building and is truly humbling and impressive. The art exhibited was largely of local scenes and included many works by local schoolchildren some of which was of high quality given the age of the artists. The staff were extremely friendly and informative (in fact the town generally is a friendly one). Recommended

I had the pleasure of being able to go and view this amazing artist work. It's a must see i encourage people to go its currently being shown until the 18th of may.

Extremely attractive Greek style building, with a marble paved hallway leading to the memorial wall plaques. Inaugurated 100 years ago by Prince Henry (son of King George V) to honour the thousands of local men who perished in WWI. The names of those who died in WWII and other subsequent conflicts have since been added. The building also houses the towns art gallery with regular exhibitions. Currently there's one regarding the end of the war in Europe whilst the war with Japan is still raging. Well worth a visit but check the limited opening times.

A small gallery and the length of time you spend is dependent on the exhibitions. There are three exhibition rooms and one of them was in use by an art group so I didn't wish to intrude. The gallery staff are very friendly and the Gallery obviously takes pride in presenting very thought provoking exhibitions - the two I saw today focuses on displacement from home and ancestral lands.

This is small memorial but very striking when you enter, visited on rememberance Sunday and it made you proud with the amount of people that showed u p to pay there respects, the march, the band's and all of the group's were fantastic.

Nice small art museum in a lovely historic building. I went with my family to see my son’s school artwork.

We got lucky and it was open when we visited on passing (check online before going and check for private events) The church is beautiful, spectacular stained glass windows. The volunteers were lovely and my mother enjoyed a nice chat with several of them. Entry is free although they do appreciate donations if you are able.

If this is going to continue to be a music venue, I'm never moving from Stockport! Beautiful building, amazing sound and fantastic lighting.

What a beautifully maintained church. The outside is great but the inside is even better.

Amazing church full of history. It's great to see it still being open and working but also having a community cafe and the Heritage Trust Centre. Plenty to do there!

Very clean and tidy. Great architecture and lots to see. Church dates from 1300s. Small friendly coffee shop with cakes and snacks. Toilets including wheelchair accessible. Ramp can be put in the front for wheelchair users to access the building. Very welcoming environment for all users. Child friendly.

The history and importance of St Mary's positioned in the historic Stockport market is obvious from its imposing structure to the interesting features within. It's near other tourist attractions like the Staircase centre, there's a cafe, and the church is open most days.As well as church services, weddings and the usual meeting of the congregation, it's superior acoustic make it a great concert venue. Definitely worth a visit!

Worth a visit if you're going to other attractions in the area but not worth it by itself. The building is beautiful. The heritage centre is very small but it is nice to see all the different wedding dresses from different decades.

It's a huge park, you can find cyclists, runners, dog lovers, families having a good time. Lot of old hreen trees and trails make up for a good weekend outing. Small waterfall of sorts too for those interested to go off track. Didn't have enough time to explore it all in one visit, plan to go there again sometime soon.

Lovely park, coffee shop and paths to walk on

Lovely park, always plenty to do or see. However the car park is a right PITA and needs the bays remarking as the lines are hard to see and people hog two spots making it impossible for others to park. Also, as someone who uses a blue badge the disabled bays need remarking up and enforcing as there’s usually multiple people who park in the disabled bays without a valid badge. Also the coffee shop could do with accessible toilets on the ground level (not just in the basement) as when my pain is bad, those stairs are a killer! Speaking of which - there also needs to be more toilets available that aren’t located in the coffee shop as when I’ve attended after the coffee shop has shut, and needed to go - there is a lack of options available, unless the bowls people are playing and let me use their facilities.

Spent a nice sunny Sunday morning here and had a really good time. Our dog was absolutely enjoying the space! We unfortunately didn't find an accessible path down to the river so that was a disappointment, but I'm hoping to be able to go down to the river the next time around. Definitely recommend a visit to the park. It's very well kept and serene.

Nice park and quiet green space to take an enjoyable walk or sit. Plenty of paths to wander around and lots of benches to sit, the park has a set of steep steps but with a pathway around them. Mostly well maintained with some interesting features, although the fountain was empty and muddy, and the information signs were a bit worse for wear. The café is great and the park adjoins Woodbank park for an extended wander.

A beautiful park to visit with family, pet or even if by oneself for a nice walk. The park is very tranquil and has a few steep inclines so could for jogging or walking for fitness. The pathway to river is blocked off for safety reasons and is a shame as this would be ideal to view. There is a museum and also a cafe within the park as well as a bowling green. All in all a great park to visit.

Had a nice little family stroll round here. It’s a shame the paths down to the river are blocked off but other than that it was a good walk. Nice water feature near the bottom and a maze that kids loved running around and burning off energy in. There is a bandstand which was great to see. Public toilets are downstairs in the museum at the top of the park where you will also find a little shop selling T-shirt’s, sweaters, bags, planters etc a lot of which is made on site.

I've transferred membership to Central Library, because Marple's has closed. So far, so good. A much wider choice of books, a Carnegie building, lovely librarians. And a trip for coffee and cake in the Indoor Market, now open on Thursdays. I had my hand forced, when the local library closed, but it has been a change for the better.

I love this library.. so peace and quiet. Very helpful staff. I always go there. Free coffee/tea also available here. That makes my day!

This is a fabulous library building. The ground floor is the main book collection area. There are some activities like drawing workshop and mini exhibitions sometimes.

Beautiful building, worth going inside to see the central ceiling glass which overlooks the main room

My friend and I came for a quiet space to revise for our coming exams upstairs, and the staff made us feel really unwelcome and it felt like we were being watched, constantly with an eye on us. They were quite abrasive and rude when my friend asked to where the toilet is and quite abruptly told me to throw my drink in the bin outside. Outside?? I could have understood that I couldn’t bring a drink in, if it was a restaurant. Anyway, I’ll still be going as I much but it will be downstairs. Absolutely poor and unnecessary approach to people who just want to quietly revise.

Lovely place and very helpful and welcoming staff. Popped in the other day to return some book and my kids seen massive poster of Black History Month and amazing books displayed referencing to it. My kids faces just light up and they felt so good to see books about and writted by people that look like them! Thank you Stockport Library for making our day!

Library temporary closed at until 12 may

such a great theatre, extremely accessible, the seat sizes are a life saver with the amount of old theatres i have been in! six was also such a good show, and i feel as though it fit perfectly with the purple theme in the lowry. my mum and i had such a lovely time.

Excellent touring production of Chicago. Brenda Edwards fantastic as Mama Morton, a powerhouse vocal performance. Lowry theatre very accessible as a wheelchair user. Level access to ground floor which has theatre, bar, restaurant etc. Toilets easily accessed ( although could be cleaner) and excellent step free access to all levels of the theatre. Staff were numerous and very helpful.

Very, very good venue. The quayside theatre is very small and intimate, but holds a good crowd. We were there to see the "Ideal" stage show (which was absolutely brilliant) and it was a great trip. Two minor issues were that it was unclear when the doors would open, leaving quite a few people like us standing outside in rain and wind, which was not Ideal (see what I did there) Also the toilet roll dispensers are utterly dreadful, where you have to try and pull it out of a very tight opening and it invariably tears close to the holder. You know the ones I'm talking about... The rosé wine is delightful...

We booked tickets to see the Quentin Blake exhibition. It’s free to enter though, possibly to control guest numbers. When we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly chap who said we will be seeing the Lowry 360. Wasn’t sure what it was, but we were led into a theatre and watched a 6 minute video of the famous Lowry painting of fans going to Bolton Wanderers football club! We highly recommend you do this as the video brought the painting to life! The video filled all the walls, ceiling and floor and you became mesmerised into the painting! It was brilliant!! We then saw the rest of the Lowry paintings and then saw the fabulous Quentin Blake illustrations! I’ve read many books as a child with his illustrations and it was fascinating to see them close up!

Fab venue, great buffet/bars, lovely stage and comfy seats. The surrounding areas also offer lots of shopping and eating options and other attractions like a museum or the BBC.

Visit to the Lowry today amazing experience we started at the 360 Lowry experience where they have brought one of LS Lowrys pictures alive, it was awesome for 6 minutes your transported amongst the picture with matchstick people and animals walking around you. Amazing I would highly recommend Lowry 360 after you can walk around the gallery and look at a huge collection of his works plus there's some of his personal items. All for zero cost so be generous and put a little coin into the collection boxes. There is a cafe, restraunt, bar and a well stocked gift shop plus toilets in the building. A big thankyou to Neil who we met as we entered extremely sociable and explained everything we felt so welcome what a credit to the Lowry. If in Manchester it's a must place to visit.

Went to see La Bohème here. An excellent venue for the opera. The seats were comfortable and there was plenty of leg room. The performance was very enjoyable. Highly recommended to pre order any interval drinks as there can be a long queue for the bar and the interval flys by. Parking is available for a reasonable price at the nearby multi story. Dinner is also recommended at the pier 8 restaurant which is within the same building as the theatre. We had a very enjoyable experience.

This is a great museum and can be done in about 2-3 hours and is good for all ages. It's free to get in but you can make a donation. The vivarium was very popular. The gift shop had some good and interesting items for souvenirs or gifts. There is an elevator for those with strollers or that can't do stairs. They're are several different sections to see. The Egyptian section has a real mummified person that you can view, along with their sarcophagus. There are taxidermy animals and the skeleton of a whale. Lots to see and definitely worth a visit. There is even a good cafe attached for a snack once you're done.

Great place to visit for a couple of hours. Went mainly to see the triceratops skull which is on display until February and it was well worth seeing! Plenty of things to see including other dinosaurs and fossils. Egyptian mummies and other artefacts too. Free to enter but need to book tickets for triceratops- still free though. Donations are of course welcome.

My son and I had a truly wonderful time visiting the Historical Art Exhibition in Manchester. We were both deeply impressed by the richness of the displays and the beauty of the precious artifacts. My 7-year-old son was especially delighted to see so many fascinating and valuable pieces from the past, which sparked his curiosity and excitement. It was such a joyful experience for him before starting his new school day, and for me it was a memorable moment to share with him, filled with learning and admiration.

So many fascinating things to see, from taxidermy to fossils to gems to live animals! I could've stayed the whole day. There is a big variety of things here, you'd never get bored! And it's free! I had such lovely time here.

We recently spent a truly spectacular day at the Manchester Museum. This isn't just a collection of old things; it's a vibrant journey through time, packed with amazing artifacts and compelling histories that capture the imagination of every visitor. The historical collections are beautifully curated, offering deep dives into everything from Ancient Egypt to natural sciences, presenting human history and the wonders of the natural world in an accessible and awe-inspiring way. The Star Attraction: Triceratops: Eat, Roam, Repeat. While the entire museum is brilliant, the main event for us was undoubtedly the special exhibition, Triceratops: Eat, Roam, Repeat. I can't recommend this highly enough, especially for families with young children. The exhibition is designed to be incredibly interactive, turning learning into a hands-on adventure. It perfectly balances fascinating historical facts about the iconic dinosaur with opportunities to explore, move, and play. Seeing the sheer scale of the Triceratops skull is breathtaking, but the clever, child-friendly displays bring its ancient life into sharp focus. Our four-year-old had the best time exploring every corner. The exhibit encourages curiosity and active participation, keeping little hands and minds busy. To top off the dino-mite experience, the fun Dino dig was the perfect finale. Watching our little one, brush in hand, enthusiastically unearth 'fossils' felt like a real-life archaeological discovery. It’s details like this—making history tangible and fun—that set the Manchester Museum apart.

Very nice museum. Free admission. Nice local history and natural history exhibits. Easy access by public transport. Cafe on the premises, plenty of seating. Also suitable for families with children

This was a cool museum. I brought my four year old and he had a really interesting time. There were some nice interactive bits alongside stuff to look at. It had plenty in it but we also happily left after about an hour and a half / two hours. Dinosaurs was a fave as was the frog farm (probs not the real name). Wasn’t so busy. Might have been harder with kids aged 2-3.

Utterly amazing. A comprehensive history of aviation from its very beginnings right up to the Cold War. Cockpit tours, a Vulcan Bomber, outstanding. Great volunteers, full of knowledge and boundless enthusiasm.

Great afternoon spent exploring this fantastic facility. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. It was wonderful to experience the inside of the cockpits. The items on display are well presented and there is plenty to look at. The cafe does a selection of drinks and sandwiches. Well worth a visit.

This is everything a museum should be. Run by volunteers who are all passionate about aviation. My two children 4 and 5 had an amazing time, sitting at the controls of a real passenger plane, pushing all the buttons and giggling like mad. My young son is Autistic and going anywhere is a real gamble. He was really at home looking at the amazing displays from models of the first wooden aircraft to flying an aircraft simulator. Great interactive displays really bring engineering to life and we're enlightening to see just how much amazing science and technology has been present in UK aviation. The cafe is very reasonably priced and extremely family friendly. The museum is also very accessible for people with mobility issues, although some cockpit tours may not be suitable for wheelchair users it was clear that they had been considered from the outset, with uncluttered floor space and interactive exhibits being step free. Fantastic place and we will definitely be back!

Anyone who is interested in the history of British aviation should visit this remarkable museum. Avro was one of the leading aircraft firms and an important part of the industry of North West England. I particularly recommend the tours of the Vulcan cockpit and Lancaster forward fuselage. The former is an overwhelming experience I found! Packed with artefacts and information and served by enthusiastic well informed and friendly volunteers the museum is a must see!

A great little museum, really well structured with a timeline of Avro aircraft. Friendly staff, café very reasonably priced. This is the closest I've been to a Vulcan since I stood alongside the end of the RAF Finningley runway with my father, circa 1967, watching the awesome beasts perform circuits and bumps.

Went for the Wings and Wheels event. Same entrance fee as any other day. The event included the Lancaster flyover. There were other stalls including food and drink. General public showing their personal classic cars. The staff in the Avto museum are all very friendly and highly knowledgeable.

What an amazing place. We booked a Lancaster tour, which was 2 hours after we arrived. We were wondering how we’d spend that time. Well how wrong were we? There is loads of detailed information, photographs, models, parts and recreations we ran out of time! The Lancaster tour was brilliant and we learned so much more than we believed we knew. Then we did the simulation from real audio footage, which was also fantastic. We had a quick lunch at the cafe and a quick look around the shop because we had so much to fit in. There is lots to see for young and old ! We will definitely go back to see the parts we couldn’t finish as it was near closing time. The volunteers are full of information and always on hand to help.

I went to Victoria Baths for the Manchester Tech Festival. The building has an amazing architecture, definitely one of Manchester’s iconic places. Totally worth visiting out if you get the chance.

Spent a wonderful day immersed in beauty at Victoria Baths, sketching and soaking in its rich history. Truly hope we can preserve this gem for generations to come! 😍✨

Unique building comprising three pools, turkish baths, rooms, and changing booths, all in Bictorian splendour. The tiling, banisters, stained glass windows, & floors are extraordinary & beautiful. The staff are lovely, the general staff, one on reception, in the souvenir shop, guides, & in the cafe (special mention for the woman who makes the cafe latte).

Stunning historic building inside and out with incredible Edwardian Art Nouveau features. My daughter is using it as a wedding venue.

Homeshow event was great, at some points it was really busy and hard to see stalls but there was a lot to look at, cafe with coffee and tea, vendors were so helpful and friendly.

Amazing and so beautiful in all it's present glory. Was there for a vintage fair but had a look around the rooms

Me, my partner and my mum came here to visit the Night Market, we had each payed £10 each for a ticket. The building was beautiful and the atmosphere was fun.

I tried the deluxe sandwich with cheddar, sundried tomatoes and pesto. It was nice but not worth the price at £9.99. Wanted to get the soup and sandwich deal but they had run out of soup by 12:30pm. The space inside is quite spacious, plenty of seating for a lunchtime break

It is a really cosy place, and the food is lovely with good portioning. The staff are friendly. Loved my food and the lovely surprised macaroons on our plates.

Disappointing Visit – Won’t Be Returning Popped into Tiamos in Stockport on a wet, windy day with my 9-month-old daughter, mainly to escape the rain and grab some breakfast. Initially, things seemed okay – the girl serving us was friendly and polite, and the food was actually not bad at all. Good portions, cheap and cheerful – just what you'd expect for a casual breakfast. Unfortunately, everything else was a letdown. The atmosphere was flat and uninviting. The high chair they gave me for my daughter was filthy – even the server commented on how dirty it was, yet all she did was offer to remove the tray. No offer to clean it or replace it. Really disappointing considering how basic hygiene should be, especially for babies. They use a QR code menu, but you still have to order with the server and can’t pay through your phone – making the whole system feel a bit pointless. Worse still, just after we got our food, two elderly regulars came in. The server clearly knew them well – as she knew his regular order was a cappuccino before he even ordered. They sat outside right by the wide-open front windows, which are more like doors and lit up strong-smelling pipe tobacco. The smoke poured straight into the café, directly towards my daughter in her already grimy chair. I could see the smoke drifting in, and yet the staff said or did absolutely nothing. In 2025, with all the research around secondhand smoke, I found this completely unacceptable – especially in a place serving food and children. I lost my appetite and rushed to finish my daughter’s meal so we could leave as quickly as possible. The final insult? A £19 bill for the privilege. I remember when this café was lovely years ago. Sadly, it’s now somewhere I wouldn’t recommend to anyone – especially parents. A real shame.

Delicious food and lovely staff. I highly recommend Tiamos because the food is reasonably priced and always great.

Tiamo's is one of the best cafes Stockport has to offer, a real gem. Amazing choice of food and drink, great atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Tiamo offers a nice alternative to typical fast food. The staff is really friendly and accommodating. They madly offer hot and cold sandwiches, coffees, teas and spirits at reasonable prices. The place is not noisy and the environment has a home feel to it, making it great for families, spending time chatting or catching up with friends.

What a delightful little gem of a place. I've been past here 100s of time but never noticed it until today. We called in for a late lunch and weren't disappointed. The staff we very friendly and courteous. The food is outstanding and very reasonably priced too. We had a lovely selection of tapas and it was delicious. We will definitely be returning time and time again

Always a go to favourite bar in Stockport. Great atmosphere, often live music and a visit from a furry friend or two. 🐱🐶 Great selection of beers and gins.

We didn't have food just drinks outside but we enjoyed ourselves. Really nice looking pub. Would definitely drink here again.

A cracking Robinsonx pub with a good selection of beers. Nice open plan room with lots of seating. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Food is available at times with some veggy options. Outdoor seating is available for those sunny days. The place can get busy at times.. They also have live music at times. Well worth a visit.

I had a Saucy vegan Margherita! It was sooo tasty! Highly recommend! 😊

Wide range of obscure but tasty local beverages. Awesome selection of food too. I'd recommend the hot-dog for the hungry, and the puppy-dog for the not-so-hungry. Attracts a good mixture of people, young and old. Good for families too.

Great pub, cosy and live music which I really enjoyed. Great selection of Ales ,Gin and a simple menu which was perfect for this type of pub ..will go there again next Sunday when there is love music again x

Called in with my daughter while visiting for vintage Sunday. Drinks very reasonably priced.

What a wonderful place! The National Trust team have done an excellent job converting this abandoned railway bridge into a magnificent elevated garden full of endemic trees and herbs. The views are stunning and there are great opportunities to learn and get engaged with. Already been there twice, even though I had to travel three hours to Manchester - absolutely worth it!

This is a great and very interesting attraction say the heart of the historic Castlefield district of Manchester. It's more than a little reminiscent of the elevated garden in downtown Manhattan and the range of interesting sights along with the juxtaposition of ancient and modern is truly inspiring. Very much recommended.

An absolutely unexpected treat in the heart of Manchester. Loved the natural way in which the vegetation is encouraged to thrive! The displays were really well thought out!!

Great idea that is only half completed awaiting further funding to finish the project off. Only puzzling thing is the viaduct was decommissioned in 1969 & it took them this long to decide to do something worthwhile with it! Lift was out of order when we visited so had to use the stairs. There are toilets available on the viaduct.

What a lovely peaceful space in a really busy and hectic city. Its a short walk but more phases and extensions to come, I really hope so. There's loads of potential for this to be a nature rich space for people and wildlife to benefit from.

Beautiful gardens, free to enter, stunning planting very cleverly done. Love the setting and the use of native species to match the landscape, definitely worth a visit, so great to see it thriving! Lots of seating spots too. Can’t wait to see how it’ll grow in the future.

Beautiful, much better than the one in Leeds Definitely worth a visit if you’re ever in Manchester. The plants are lovely and the views are great

They failed to provide me an interpreter so had to postpone two months The judge was cold and disinterested with my claim The judge refused to witness the evidence video clips which is waste of time and around £350 - guess what? She dismissed my claim and let criminals get away with it. Perfect justice(!)

Attended a family fun day in Tameside which was a brilliant event, well organised and funded. There is not enough of this in Stockport. Instead £60 bin collection charges. The parks are looking tierd, local places are being closed. Would like to see where exactly council tax is being spent! A bike lane that was 4ft was painted on afew years ago and a laughing stock - so someone isn't making sensible choices with the budget!

I've been attempting to help a vulnerable teenager get accommodation as he has been removed from his home. The council website lists a promise that vulnerable young people will be guaranteed a place to stay. It's a completely empty promise and should be removed immediately. The only help offered by SHG thus far has been for him to log on to spareroom.com. They have been of no use whatsoever. He has been homeless for about four months. It does rankle when you realise how much money has been spent to accommodate non-UK citizens over the last few years. I don't begrudge them a thing, but it does highlight that Stockport Council has very different priorities to those we thought we were paying for.

I've asked several times for new password for my account. I phoned and requested call back as all call handlers are very busy. Waited 2.5 hrs for callback and now your closed. Extremely bad service. The same thing happened with poor service a while ago when ineeded help with security in an emergency. Send all my account details by POST then you don't need to phone or email me. Mrs Kathleen Durr

Absolutely useless bunch of individuals ineptly so called running a council. Not one brain cell amongst them all. Don’t listen to what the residents say. They just do what they like. Can’t wait to move out of this area. Avoid at all costs.

To Stockport Housing Office Why are u offering these families accommodation? I'm certain that British families would love somewhere to call HOME. I'm fairly sure that BRITISH FAMILIES have been on the housing list a lot longer than these families from Iraq. THEY SHOULD BE OFFERED NOTHING. If a Britush family starting camping to protest. You would remove them REMOVE THESE UNGRATEFUL PARASITES. HOUSE OUR FAMILIES/ EX VETERANS FIRST. A migrant family camping on the streets of Stockport town centre has turned down accommodation because it is in a different area. Mohammed, his wife, and their son arrived in the UK last year from Iraq but have spent the last 10 days sleeping rough. The family, alongside another, has set up two tents outside the offices of Stockport Homes, a social housing provider. Stockport Homes has said it offered the two groups accommodation and other support, yet Mohammed, 50, and his family have turned it down. Despite the offer, the migrant family say they are stuck on the streets. "We need help; it's not safe here. I've been here for ten days, my wife is sick, we can't stay like this." The family from Iraq turned down the offer of housing because it was outside the borough where they wished to stay and with a different housing provider, reports Manchester Evening News. Moving out of Stockport, a town in the Greater Manchester area, would mean the family would be staying in an area which is not familiar to them. However, there are major housing shortages in the region, with thousands of people on the streets battling for social housing. As a result, Mohammed, his wife, 48, and their son, 18, have no options for a home in Stockport — especially not at short notice, the housing provider says. According to MEN, various other options have been discussed with the two groups in the tents. These include house shares with other people, as well as numerous appointments to chat about the other options available. A Stockport Homes spokesperson said: “We know that seeing people sleeping in tents in the town centre is upsetting - and for those in that situation, it’s even more distressing. It’s something we take extremely seriously. “There are huge pressures on the housing system, but help is available - and we’re here to make sure it reaches those who need it most. “Our teams have already offered accommodation options to those on Edward Street, alongside personalised support, and advice. “One person has accepted, while two have chosen not to take up the options presented. We’ll continue working with them to find solutions that meet their needs.”

Stockport council think its okay to decide when my skips full and call the skip hire company on my behalf. Nope thats my call. Stockport council have fined me for parking on my own street.

Came for the cafe as we were early for the Air Raid Shelter. Sorry to say that it was a stereotypical church cafe. There was a musty, dusty smell on entering. Of an order of 6 people, 3 food orders had to be changed as the mushrooms and ham weren't available. The cafetiere coffee had to be changed as there was no cafetiere! The tablecloth on our table was stained and dirty. As a minister of a church with a café myself, I know all these issues are easily avoided and would see repeat custom ...

Teresa and I attended the Ash Wednesday Mass today. Father Ken conducted the Service. Thank You Father for your Blessings. Saint Peter's Church holds such an aura both in it's atmosphere and in it's spiritual meaning. God Bless

St Peters church Stockport was built in 1876. One of the oldest churches in Stockport with an excellent atmosphere. They old services on a Friday lunchtime at 1.00pm to which everyone is always welcome.

Very old church with amazing interior details. Well worth a visit. Usually access from a side door a few hours each week day

Peaceful and a great atmosphere.. Very good cafe serving well priced snacks and meals.. Recommended for a visit when in Stockport.

Nice church at St Peters @ St. Peter’s square Stockport,lovely seating and garden to the rear of this lovely church,a nice stop that’s great to have a brew or a sandwich in your dinner hour, or whatever you may be doing.

Very friendly church and you can feel like part of the family.

The staff were all brilliant and couldn't do enough to help. The accessible toilets were large enought to get my scooter in and could manoeuvre easily enough. We were sat close to the stage and they took a seat out so I didn't have to swap seats which was a big help. Normally with accessible seating you're miles away and not always a good view. Not this time! Nice clean building and easy enough to get around. No faff!

I went to see Shayne Ward on the 15th October....the venue is fantastic...the manager was great. The staff were a bit disorganised though. Drinks were over priced in my opinion. Not much parking for disabled access. Seating in the venue was good...I'd give it 8/10

This place is a fantastic music venue the sound and light show are absolutely amazing. As a disabled visitor i found it very easy to acces, with no queuing and access to all areas excellent and would be wheelchair friendly. The staff are super friendly and nothing was to much trouble I was literally looked after the whole time and felt like a VIP I even got hugs off the two who looked after me at the end of the night. Highly, highly recommend this venue if there is an event on you wish to see. Absolutely 5*

What a cool place! Very cool lights and a great set up, £4.50 pint (of Amstel) is just unheard of at a gig! Erm so I saw mac demarco with my girlfriend and wow what an experience hes just the coolest and im grateful that aviva studios facilitated this experience

The show (The witcher concert) as good and the room sound is excelent. The air flow was quite bad on the day and it was very warm. Despite that a great place to go for a concert

Although we had to wait outside the venue in the rain for quite a while, the venue itself is great. We were in the warehouse. There was room to move despite the gig being sold out, it was not roasting or airless and the whole gig was really enjoyable because everyone was comfortable. The sound quality was really good, too. Makes you realise how dreadful places the Manchester Academy are where they pack way too many people in and you can't move or breathe.

Very cozy venue, was our first time here for the Witcher concert and enjoyed it alot. Staff were helpful and had smiles. Layout is good to drip the crowds through the arena. Maybe could have improved by having more than 1 merch stand as the queues just got a bit out of hand. Like the fact that the staff come to you in the arena with snacks as often it can be a bit daunting disrupting people and getting out.

A historic Grade II listed building dating back to 1861, Stockport Market Hall offers a traditional shopping experience with a modern twist. The hall houses over 35 independent stalls, including fresh produce, baked goods, vintage items, and crafts. The atmosphere is lively, with friendly traders and a community feel. The building itself is a beautiful example of Victorian architecture, featuring large glass windows and ornate detailing. Open Tuesday to Saturday, 9am–4:30pm.

We had a lovely little pootle around Stockport’s Market Hall today! A few lovely bakery’s, sandwich shops, book shops and independent businesses! We loved looking around at everything and getting a lovely donut from a bakery! Very easily accessible! There’s something for everyone! Will definitely visit again!

Not been here before but its a lovely place and with unusual and interested market stalls plus the usually foods and cafe's.. the best independent jewellery repairers I've ever tried D&L jewellery repairs usually same day .. Well worth a visit

Wonderful stalls cooked meats and cheese, butchers a a fish monger, old fashioned sweets and even a haberdashers and green grocer all friendly and good quality with and great choices. Highly recommend a visit

Great variety of unusual stalls. A good place for a coffee and snack. The best stall of all is the Candy Shack. The stallholder is great and couldn't be more helpful. Her wide range of sweets can suit any taste. If you've never visited your missing a life experience.

Great place. An upcoming area and clearly the council is promoting this area in Stockport. Definately completely different to the picture of Stockport we might create. It is truly wonderful here with tiny little cobbled lanes up and downhill. Fantastic area to explore, it doesn't get the 5 stars as it is a long way off from being completed. Some new cafes, restaurants and sandwich bars are appearing and of course the lovley food market offering several different cuisines. From Spanish tapas and tortillas, to fresh Thai cuisine I clouding beautiful Vegan options.

Absolutely worth a visit to Stockport if not just to see this lovely building... Full of small businesses and lovely people! Definitely try the homemade pie at Theresa's cafe/bar!

Very easy accessable to train station n bus stop. You can just shopping in this street. Restaurant, coffee bar,pub, betting shop,supermarket, nail bar,post office,etc in one street.

It was easy to navigate once I asked around, the buss staff were kind to direct me to the right stop

Great Aparthotel, fantastic rooms, clean and tidy, welcoming, helpful staff.

Reward £50 for my missing phone VIVO IQOO NEO8, has been missing since 20 October 2025 and was last seen on Oxford Street Manchester

Nice and busy place

Everything is well organized and there are not many delays which is wonderful.

It was surprisingly calm for such a big road

History in a building, the TUC principals were laid out here, excellent conference venue for a 100ish attendees, several smaller rooms for meetings, spotlessly clean venue.

Great location from the train station. Parking fees in area astronomical. Lovely building, staff great. Workplace events - room too small, very hot. Food (buffet) provided very basic & more or less the same for 3 days in a row.

A nice hall with great stained glass windows which portray old unions and areas of the heritage of Manchester.

Cool quirky old Mancunian building. We looked into booking for a conference in the summer, but ended up choosing a different venue. I like that it's not for profit, so the prices were good. Doesn't have AC though, and the poster boards supplied have to lean against the walls.

Lovely place. Welcoming inclusive vibes, great staff, drinks are not overpriced, and comfy seating!

Only went into one of the meeting rooms but it served it's purpose well, it was quiet and we weren't interrupted, a request for additional power extension points due to lack of available power sockets fpr laptops etc was promptly actioned, no complaints

I attended the annual conference of trade union councils this weekend there around the people who were there very helpful and very friendly the conference went off without any difficulty whatsoever it may be an old building but it can hold conference very well A very accessible building has a lift to all floors

Had to harass them for our deposit back + had random charges. Also had a month long wasp infestation they refused to sort out even tho i am severely allergic to them 🤪 took ages to sort out anything and the house was never properly cleaned by the cleaner when we moved in yet we got charged a cleaning fee #laughoutloud

I've been an RWIA tenant for the last 4 years and have to say that it has been one of the best renting experiences that I have had in Manchester. Amy and the team have always been super accommodating and quick to respond when there are issues or concerns. Although the house is a little older and has had a few issues, they've done their best to resolve it quickly. The maintenance team and repair men are very friendly and get things done quickly. I am particularly grateful for the flexibility I've been given over the years to adapt my tenancy agreement when needed. Would highly recommend.

My personal experience as a RWIA tenant was very good with House Manchester. They were very responsive when we had issues and generally had people out to help within a few days when there were any issues, as simple as a light bulb gone out. Communication was good, the house was lovely and a fair price. I have no issues with this place, they made great landlords for me and my housemates the past year. Would like to send a thanks out to Amy.

I was an RWIA tenant last year (my second year uni house) and couldn't fault House Manchester - especially Amy who looked after us and our house! The house was spotless when we moved in and I really appreciated that we all had matching furniture regardless of room size. Any time there were any maintenance issues someone would come that day to resolve them which was great and contact with House was direct and accessible throughout my entire tenancy. Overall I would highly recommend!

I was a RWIA tenant last year and had a very positive experience with the company. The landlord was very responsive if we had any issues or problems, all of which were resolved very quickly. There was a great communication with tenants, informing us with plenty of time when visits/checks were being carried out (eg of alarms and show arounds). The house we stayed in was lovely (7 people) and we were given the majority of our deposits back with no issues and fairly. Would definitely recommend.

You hear many horror stories of lacklustre student letting agents in Manchester but this REALLY isn’t the case with House. I was an RWIA tenant last year (2021-2022) and honestly cannot fault it. Not only was our house in better condition and more stylish than my friends’ but the appliances were more up to date and efficient. Whenever we had a query or a problem our emails were diligently responded to and the problem was often fixed within 24 hours. The team is very friendly and approachable, we always felt help was never far away should need it. My only complaint is that they don’t let more properties!

I am an RWIA tenant. I have stayed in the same house for 2 years running now as are a great company to live with. any issues we have had (ie broken dryer, leaking radiator) were fixed super quickly whenever we email for maintenance. company are super efficient at making sure the house is in good condition. rent seems expensive but it’s probably worth it considering how nice the house is and how good the staff are

HARD TO PARK UNLESS YOU LIVE THERE, THEN A LONG WAITING LIST TO GET PARKING SPACES SO TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT IF THINKING OF RENTING, IF YOUR A LIGHT SLEEPER IT'S AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE WITH DRUNKS AND 24 HOUR MACDONALDS, RENTS HIGH, APPARTMENTS OK, BUT WOULD DRIVE ME ABSOLUTELY CRAZY.

Nice to see a bit of green in the city centre. Really well repurposed building and a great place to live. Rent is a touch high but you get what you pay for. Good modern apartments in an excellent location.

Very nice apartment. Joanne helped us move and she was lovely :)

Smart, clean and well maintained inside and out.

Nicely placed in a good central location. People in offices there that run businesses not very happy looking though

Nice and good planned construction and it feels great pleasured ambiance

Easily the best accomodation in Stockport. Very well managed

Lovely shop, stopped in on a day trip to Stockport and Ruby was super lovely and helpful. Amazing quality stuff and top tier customer service, will definitely be back!

A must visit if you’re in or near Stockport! The selection of items available is just a *chef kiss*. Plus the staff and general vibes are so warm and friendly. This indie store is wonderful. There is nothing to dislike!

Lovely independent store with trendy lifestyle pieces, all Nordic-inspired! Perfect for those seeking high-quality contemporary homeware items. Promoting slow living and simplicity. Brilliant customer service, welcoming and friendly staff. Overall the vibe is great. Instagram Links: Store @Still.Life.Story Reviewed by @cesamargaux

I love visiting Still Life Story for fresh beautiful flowers, gifts & cards for all occasions. The homeware selection is super stylish and staff go above and beyond to make the shopping experience enjoyable. Thank you Still Life Story!

What an absolute beautiful shop! There is no detail that has been missed in still life story, every item has been chosen with thought and intention. The people who work there are absolutely lovely, super friendly and always happy to help. The selection of candles are amazing. It is a joy to step into this shop ❤️

Lovely shop and always deliver the most beautiful flowers

Amazing business with amazing people selling amazing things with an amazing customer service! A local gem.

Water is always attracts me and like to go for a walk beside it. Lovely area and lovely place for a walk. Beautiful and scenic

absolutely love this L E G E N D of a river. visited with my two dogs a week or so ago, they went mad for it. was also thinking of taking them to river medlock in manny but i mean have you seen the state of the water in that cesspool? literally not seen a single stonefly larva in that filthy murk. BMWP rating must be shocking. buck your ideas up you cheeky mancunians, dan x

The Macclesfield old road was shocking scratched our car from a tree almost punctured a tyre because we had to u turn it say no entry so we had to go through Macclesfield old road

A magical place in the hearth if the Peak Distric with beautiful streams and picturesque forests.

Scenic parts, some nice rambles nearby.

Really nice place to have a ramble aroubd

Really good fishing

Not bad for somewhere that you can’t visit 😂

The building was open for the recent Heritage Weekend and the former recording studio had been recreated. There was also plenty memorabilia in show along with a stall selling goods.

It's justcs building with a blue plaque. But the history of all things Manchester music went through those doors

Legendary recording studio

(Translated by Google) Mandatory stop for Joy Division lovers. I recommend visiting the Stockport museum for more information and documents regarding the Strawberry Studios (Original) Tappa obbligatoria da amante dei Joy Division. Consiglio di visitare il museo di Stockport per avere maggiori informazioni e documenti che riguardano gli Strawberry Studios

I am a regular user of Merseyway Innovation Centre and I love the space - there's lots of great areas for co-working and meeting my team or clients. The meeting rooms are good to hire for workshops and meetings - lots of space! And a great coffee machine too.

the place is amazing but -if you arrived to the front door for a course or meeting and you were a wheelchair user and the lift is broken again then the only way in would be to go up to the car park using the clock tower lift, along to the left and down the lift that takes you to the 1st floor and then turn right. it's the old C&A upstairs building. Everything else about it is wonderfull.

Inspiring office space backed by a fantastic team. We moved here a couple of months ago and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Great connections to Manchester and London, paired with super fast internet. A great home for ambitious businesses.

Unfortunately I have to say the worse bar I have ever visited the staff were rude and caused a great deal of upset completely spoilt the night , other people in the bar also. Commented on the appalling attitude and arrogance of the staff .

Beautiful building , Rude staff. close early with short notice ( 9pm)

One of Stockport's few gems.
