Over the past year, Stockport's historic Underbanks area has become known for its buzzing street parties, and this summer, a brand new takeover is planned.
Following a successful launch in Manchester City Centre, the Block Party festival will be taking over the Underbanks this July. Aptly named Stock Party, the free event will feature a host of well-known food and drink operators, plus entertainment, and family activities around the town centre.
The restaurant Where The Light Gets In has joined forces with a number of Greater Manchester breweries including Track, Cloudwater, Robinsons Brewery, Sureshot, Balance and Runaway to bring the event to life. The event will take place on Saturday, 20 July from 12pm until 9pm and will celebrate the town's thriving independent scene and rich brewing history.

Robinsons Brewery on Lower Hillgate will be home to the main festival square and bar, pouring beers from each of the breweries. The event will be Soundtracked by a DJ set curated by Bohemian Arts Club too.
For those who prefer a glass of pinot noir to a pint, Levenshulme wine bar Isca will be on hand serving up a selection of wines. Food wise, there will be a BBQ by Where The Light Gets and sourdough pizza from Honest Crust.
Stockport’s iconic Underbanks will be filled with tables and chairs giving festival-goers the chance to enjoy an al-fresco beer from a five-tap van located outside magazine and book shop, Rare Mags, which will be serving up beers from both Cloudwater and Track.
Just down the way, pottery studio and bakery Yellowhammer, will be giving those coming town the chance to build their tankard in a special one-off pottery workshop.
