Reddish to host celebration of the neighbourhood

Reddish is set to host a celebration of all that’s great about the neighbourhood as local businesses and community resources lead activities on Saturday 26 September.

There’ll be a Market Hub in the Houldsworth Arms car park with lots of local makers, bakers and community groups, as well as entertainment from local performers, Stealth Cheer, a bouncy castle and community activities. This will be the place to find out what’s happening elsewhere and also to enjoy a sit down, lunch and a drink. enjoy a pint, a coffee and lunch from brand new local chefs Hay Days Kitchen. Marbury Road Edible Garden will be selling their produce and spreading the word about the work they do in the community. Empower from Re:Dish will be running a teddy tombola and Heatons WI will be showcasing their homemade bakes and makes. Meet Reddish Events to discover what else is happening in Reddish over the next few months. You can also talk to medical professionals on the Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance drop-in about any concerns you may have about cancer.

Meanwhile, Friends of South Reddish Station are having a coffee morning in aid of MacMillan: pop over the road from the pub to help them raise funds for this important charity whilst finding out more about the station, its history and future.

At Houldsworth Square, pick up bargains at a clothing sale at Re:Dish, while further up Gorton Road, Knit2Tog Knitting Shop have a free sock-knitting workshop (limited places, must be booked in advance). Around the corner on Moston Street, you’ll find the cake shed run by Fatal Bakehouse.

There’ll be a map of Reddish to guide you around the area, to help you explore, with plenty more still being planned.

The day’s event has been organised by Worker Bee Markets, and is supported by Stockport Council, through GMCA and UK Government funding.
