Greater Manchester's Town of Culture for 2022 has been announced.
Stalybridge will hold the title for the next 12 months, following in the footsteps of Bury, which was Greater Manchester's first Town of Culture in both 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic.
The Tameside town has been chosen by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, which is providing a £50,000 grant to develop a programme of cultural events and activities celebrating Stalybridge's unique heritage.
