Well, I was looking at Brinnington and Reddish on a map site, when I noticed something... odd.

Heartwarming response 🥰 and you can come and play here!

First of all, thank you so much for the overwhelmingly positive response I got on my last post about my new Middle-Earth inspired gaming centre in Manchester/Stockport! I know I love what we’ve made but to have so many people leave super positive comments really made me feel like we’ve made something super cool!

We’ve now got our first event in the calendar on 26th July if any of you folk fancy coming to join us for 4 games (600 points) of Middle Earth fun! Tickets can be bought at www.goldenhallgaming.com.

It was totally unplanned and had no intention of opening during the week however due to overwhelming demand and a super positive response from the community we’re now going to be open on Thursday nights if you want to come along for a casual game. We have an abundance of fantasy themed terrain so it’s perfect for Middle Earth, Age of Sigmar, Old World etc.

Thank you again for the lovely words of support! 🥰

Here’s why I’m standing to represent Greater Manchester

Hi everyone, I’m Bev and I’m standing to be your next Mayor.

Greater Manchester is the only place I’d want to call home. It’s where I have built my life, my career, and my commitment to giving something back.

Over the years, I’ve worked closely with care workers to help secure a better deal for them, before serving as a local councillor, and gone on to lead Manchester City Council.

I’ve seen first-hand what our communities need, have a track record of delivering for our area and I understand where the key challenges are.

This is why one of my priorities is improving transport for everyone. That's why, as your next Mayor, I plan to deliver free bus travel for 11-18 year olds, so getting to school, training, or work is easier and more affordable, no matter where you live in Greater Manchester. I'll freeze fares to help with the cost of living and I'll expand the Bee Network and integrate trams and trains into it.

I'm proud of what we've built together with Andy. But I want us to go further.

That's why I'll be setting out even more in the coming days.

As well as events and visits, I’ll be out and about on the doors chatting to as many people as I can about my plan for Greater Manchester, so do come and say hello if you see me 👋

Things to do in Stockport?

I’m from the north east and travelling down to Stockport for a prosthetic to be made so whilst there going to try and make it into a break. Looking for things to do (dog friendly things would be amazing too) as we are bringing our dog, also if people can recommend good eateries too! I’m vegan but who I’m travelling with isn’t. We will be there Sunday until Friday in August.

I’m also in a wheelchair so if anyone can recommend anything wheelchair accessible that would be amazing! Any nice local walks to take our dog? If anyone can recommend some local gems id be thankful☺️

Best Chinese takeaway in Stockport

As the title suggests. Looking for up to date recommendations for a decent Chinese takeaway in Stockport (more specifically Great Moor/Davenport). Used to swear by Panda on the A6 (all in 1 box was peak) but it went severely downhill a few years ago. Been using Jasmine House since (Bit pricier but Prawn toast was incredible), but even that has been proper shoddy last few times.
TIA

Recommendations for where to get a replacement 13kg Calor Propane Gas Bottle in Stockport?

Lots of places have now switched away from Calor to other gas suppliers or only do Calor Patio Gas, but I've already got the red cylinder I need to swap. Last time I used Go Outdoors but they've stopped now. Before I pick somewhere at random, has anybody got a recommendation?

What to do in Stockport on a Sunday morning?

I’ve got a mate coming up who doesn’t know Stockport and we have a few hours to kill in the town centre around 10am-1pm.

Unfortunately, everything that came to my mind such as going the Markets, Sticky Fingers, Cafe San Juan and event the Hat Museum are closed on a Sunday.

I could go also go around the Cheadle area, but does anyone know anything to do or anywhere that is open? Any pointers would be great!

edit Thanks everyone! Sticky Fingers online said closed on a Sunday but that must be for the market only!

Stockport Museum & Art Gallery using AI-generated posters 🫠

For a venue that promotes local art and creativity, it just feels wrong, not to mention the shed load of artistic errors it’s slopped up wrong (I mean look at the town of “Stockport” in the background and her right hand for a start)… Surely supporting local creative people in Stockport is part of the gallery’s purpose..

We held our first event at our brand new Middle Earth themed gaming centre!

On Saturday we were in the very privileged position to be able to run our very first event at our very own Middle Earth themed gaming centre called Golden Hall Gaming!

We invited a bunch of friends, family, local players, well wishers and hobby heroes from near and far to come and join us for a super casual 500 points tournament which went down a storm.

We’ll be hosting regular tournaments and would love to welcome players from near and far to come and play with us so if you’re in the North West/Manchester/Stockport area (or even further afield) we would LOVE to see you!

We’re on the usual social media sites if you want to keep up to date with what events we have going on 😊

Marple or Macclesfield to live?

We are looking at buying either in Marple or Macc. Is there anywhere to avoid in those areas, is one much better than the other, what are pros and cons?

We love Marple as its rural but not isolated but theres so few properties on the market. No kids so don't need to worry about schools. Just want somewhere leafy with nice walks and a little community. Both work from home, I travel by train to London once a month and partner drives to Leicester once a week.

I don't really know Macc.

Offerton, Bredbury and Hyde keep coming up on our search but I don't know a lot about them or if they're rural enough for us.

Thanks!

Karaoke pubs?

Hi!!!

I’ve been told that Stockport takes karaoke very seriously. I’m personally a die hard karaoke enthusiast and would love some recommendations!! What are your favourite pubs for karaoke in and around central Stockport?
