Stockport is home to a diverse selection of attractions ranging from museums to historic houses. All offer great days out for all the family.

In the town centre you can explore the history of the borough, unravel the tale of hatting, experience cutting edge fashion design, discover how local people survived the blitz and take a historical journey back though the centuries at one of the town's oldest buildings.

For a more tranquil day out you can visit one of the regions most magnificent black and white timber-framed manor houses or a beautiful country chapel, both set in picturesque locations.


Notice: Stockport Air Raid Shelters will be closed for essential maintenance and enhancement of the museum offer between: Thursday 2 – Tuesday 21 May. Sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

We look forward to welcoming you to our new and improved facilities later on this spring.
