This October, we’re shining a light on arts and health in Stockport through opportunities for groups, creatives and mental health services to connect, share and learn, at the fourth Stockport Arts and Health Week! We’ll also be running and signposting to arts workshops, tasters and walks, to allow anyone to try creating to boost their wellbeing.

Join us from October 10th – 18th 2024 at Arc at Hat Works and other venues, to explore how being creative can help us all, and how we can work together to provide experiences of real impact for people in Stockport and wider Greater Manchester. We are also proud to be launching our 2023 microcommission project legacy exhibition ‘Making Art Happen’, showing the transformative impact of the arts on health.
