Stockport Historic Market

DISCOVER STOCKPORT with its OLD HISTORIC MARKET

 

28 January 2025

Tuesday

From £25

 

This is a town where higgledy-piggledy cobbled streets tumble past listed buildings and centuries-old monuments stick out in the skyline. But Stockport has also carved out a more modern reputation.

 

Stockport Historic Market building is now a giant food hall filled with a range of different independent traders. 

 

You can happily lose hours of your life wandering around the Underbanks, an historic cluster of streets dubbed the  Soho of the north thanks to its melting pot of independent retailers.

 

It’s also one of the most unusual streets in the northwest thanks to the way it weaves along way below street level – you can get a bird’s-eye view of it from Market Place before you descend the stone steps tunnelled into the ancient walls.

 

The town is home to the Air Raid Shelters museum, a network of rooms and tunnels carved into the sandstone cliffs that give a taste of what life was like in wartime Britain.

There’s the Stockport War Memorial Art Gallery too, and you can wind the clock back even further in time at the Stockport Museum.

 

Stockport’s oldest house, known as Staircase House, has been turned into a visitor attraction, where you can learn about how people lived in the 15th to the 20th centuries.

 

Stockport newest addition is the Peel Centre retail park, one of the UK’s largest, and it forms a natural extension to the town centre, and will delight any shopper with fashion, food, and home stores – there’s something for everyone.
