Who are Stock Arts?
Stock Arts is a Stockport-based not-for-profit dedicated to enriching the town's music and cultural landscape.
At the historic St. Mary's Church in the market square, we present a diverse programme of live events showcasing both local and touring artists, from Jane Weaver and Henge to Xiu Xiu.
Alongside this, our educational workshops at Stockport’s premier community hub, Stockroom, provide skills development to support emerging local talent in the music and events industry.
