Nightlife in Stockport
Stockport is a Greater Manchester town under a great railway viaduct, about ten minutes from Manchester by train. Here is how a night out here divides.
The Market Place and the Underbanks
The Market Place and the old streets of the Underbanks below it have independent bars and the Produce Hall food market. It is the most characterful place to begin an evening.

Somewhere to book a room or a table for the evening, in Stockport itself.
The Plaza
The Plaza, a restored 1930s cinema and theatre, brings films, shows and music in a grand art deco hall. An evening built around a show is calmer than a night on the bars.
