Put a spring back into your step with Stockport’s roster of March events

Hurrah, the evenings are finally getting lighter, and the long winter slump is fading away. March is the month of new life and blooming daffodils, also including the legendary St Patrick’s Day celebrations, where the Guinness flows and the fiestas carry on well into the night. 

Make the most of your renewed energy (and that welcome boost of vitamin D) by filling your calendar with all the exciting events and activities Stockport has to offer this month.  

 

Single’s Games Night – 5th March 

Calling all single ladies and gents! The dreaded February Valentine’s Day hype is finally over, and it’s time to stop dwelling on past relationships. Instead, treat yourself to a night at Loft Social. Swap the endless, awkward Tinder conversations for real-life chats, real chemistry, and the chance to make sure they’re actually normal before agreeing to that first date.  

You can break the ice over a game of disco curling, spark a little friendly rivalry with pétanque or shuffleboard, and even get closer as you team up to take aim with an archer’s bow.

For all the horror fans out there, don’t let anyone tell you it’s too early to embrace the dark and spooky vibes; Halloween may be eight months away, but your gothic gloom knows no calendar. Flecky Bennett returns with a host of macabre stories and grim legends to make your toes curl. Having been described as a ‘born entertainer,’ he will keep you on edge the whole way through his tour, as he brings the town’s ghoulish history to life.  

Not a fan of doom and gloom? No problem- Flecky delivers the stories with a humorous twist, full of cheeky innuendos and guaranteed laughs, making the event suitable to all tastes.

Maker’s Market – 14th March  

The iconic Maker’s Market is back in Stockport just in time for Mother’s Day! Stroll through stalls offering everything from homemade, non-toxic candles by VRJJ Candles, to stunning handcrafted ceramics from DulceCeramics, or even pick up a jazzy new collar for your mum’s favourite ‘child’ (a.k.a. the dog) at Taylor and Trails. 

And whilst your there, you might as well treat yourself to a snack from one of the many mouth-watering food stalls. Grab a manakish from the Lebanese Street Food stand, or a classic cheese and onion pie from The Veggie Pie Company and top it all off with a sweet delight from Sunrise Patisserie.
