Stagger - Portwood and Stockport North Friday 20 November 2026 19:30 Might be better described as Newbridge Lane to Heaton Lane as Stockport North could, arguably, include Heaton Norris and further north.
November POTM - Sidings Thursday 26 November 2026 Not being on the main road. this Levenshulme pub is often overlooked, Once discovered it is a little gem, serving not only Holts beers but the wider community with many events. Being but a stride from the Fallowfield Loop, it offers a stopping off point if partaking of a Sunday stroll.
Weekday Wander - Rochdale and Castleton Wednesday 2 December 2026 10:50 Usually the December Weekday Wander will try to incorporate a selection of pubs partaking in Winter Warmer Wander. See the Mild Magic - Peoples Pub of the Event award (https://ssm.camra.org.uk/viewnode.php?id=290884) to fulfil this. The December Wander is a return trip to Rochdale with the addition of Castleton.
Stagger - Hillgate Friday 18 December 2026 19:30 This traditional Christmas Stagger used to be somewhat of a marathon with something like 19 pubs. Today it is little more than a stroll in the park.
December POTM - Cross Keys Tuesday 29 December 2026 Situated on the intersection of Cheadle Hulme and Adswood, the Cross Keys is a pub much passed but rarely entered. That is a shame as it is a down to earth establishment with a loyal local following. Correct your absenteeism by coming along tonight for a friendly pint.
Weekday Wander - North by Northeast Quarter Tuesday 5 January 2027 No, not a Hitchcock thriller but a tour around the fringe of the Northern Quarter, taking in Angle Meadows, Collyhurst, Ancoats and New Islington. "Where?" I hear you cry. Come along ans see.
