Stockport is the Town of Culture in 2024 and to celebrate this, five writers have been commissioned to produce a new piece of work each inspired by Stockport.

The writers are: Sarah Butler, Sarah-Clare Conlon, David Gaffney, Joe Stretch, and Emily Yates.

Expect prose and poetry on a variety of themes – rivers, hats, music, low flying planes, suburbia and many more Stockport infused topics.

The work will be performed live at the following venues:

• Rare Mags, Underbanks, at 6.30 pm on Thursday 11 April
• Mura Ma Gallery, Marple, at 6.30 pm on Saturday 20 April

Both events are free – book for Rare Mags here: raremags.co.uk/collections/objects/Event

and for Mura Ma here: murama.co.uk

There will be words to enjoy, wine to drink, and books and magazines and art and more to buy!

We look forward to seeing you in Stockport!
