Viaduct Park to host return of Stockport Moves

Stockport’s new town centre park, Viaduct Park, is to host Stockport Moves, inviting borough residents to celebrate the joy of movement.

Hosted by Stockport Council and partner organisations, the Town of Culture legacy event will be held on Sunday, 9th June from 11am.

Viaduct Park, on top of the town’s new transport interchange, will host a range of cycling activities including led cycle rides, and an area to try out accessible bikes including hand bikes and adapted trikes.

The park will be the starting point for the guided walks available on the day that cater for all abilities. Walkaday, a local experienced walking group will lead a five mile walk along the Trans Pennine Trail, before looping back to Stockport town centre. Life Leisure and Age UK Stockport will take all who join them on a trip down memory lane, with their Historic Mile to view key local landmarks and places how they looked in bygone times as well as learn some local knowledge and facts about the area.

Outside the Merseyway Shopping Centre, where there is another event space for holistic movement and wellbeing, hosted by local experts Upward Frog and Tides Within.

Other activities include fitness challenges and sports taster sessions from Life Leisure and the fastest goal challenge with Stockport County Community Trust and their inflatable speed cage. As well as a chance to chat to the men’s mental health support group – Brews and Banter.
