Stockport Town Hall are excited to once again open our doors to celebrate Heritage Open Days. Come and find the devils head, discover the Wedding Cake and view our function spaces that have been used for filming locations such as Peaky Blinders, Brassic, The Bay and BBC Question Time.
The building was dedicated to public use forever in 1908, by Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales when they formerly opened it. The Town Hall was intended, beyond its practical function as an administrative centre for the Borough, to celebrate and proclaim the town’s history and to foster a sense of civic pride in the residents of the town.
That is the historical background to the Metropolitan Borough Council which governs Stockport today, and the story which, 116 years ago, the buildings architect Sir Alfred Brumwell Thomas told in his competition winning design for Stockport Town Hall.
The tour will give you an insight into the building’s history and usage since the laying of its foundation stone in 1904 to the present day.
