Stockport Attractions & Activities
Given the wealth of places to visit in neighbouring Manchester, those in Stockport are often overlooked. This is a real shame as the town is home to some interesting and unique attractions.
Stockport boasts the UK’s only hat museum and one of Europe’s largest brick structures. It has a fantastic cinema and theatre and a mile-long labyrinth of tunnels beneath its surface. Visitors are often surprised to discover that almost half the borough is green space.
Leaflets and further information about most of these attractions can be obtained from the Stockport Tourist Information Centre.
