Stockport
As one of the early movers and shakers in the industrial revolution, economically powerful and influential towns in the UK. Wealth fabricated from the rich history of its cotton mills, paved the way for many architectural landmarks that still stand tall today.
The New Berlin
The Grit of this town has never died, culturally significant with facemelting gigs played by Jimmy Hendrix, The Who, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones. With some of our favourite records from Joy Division, New Order, The Smiths and Stone Roses being recorded at Strawberry studios.
This isn't an ordinary town, It’s one where pioneers and gamechangers gather to bleed passion and creativity that lead to much bigger things.
Food + Drink
Stockport’s culinary heartbeat is driven by independents who give a Sh*t. The result? A food scene with soul, style, and substance. Thanks to a wave of independent spots, Stockport has put itself firmly on the culinary map. The rise of the Underbanks and a focus on high-quality, creative food have cemented our town a proper foodie destination.
Here are some of our culinary heroes.
