Great to see this exhibition is now at the museum next door to the Market Hall.

Visit on a Tuesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday and you can pop inside the Market Hall The Stockport Market too.

🚨 OPENING THIS FRIDAY! 🚨

Following photographer Heidi Alexander's exhibition at local restaurant Where The Light Gets In , which wonderfully showcased Heidi's evocative images of Stockport Market from 1976-1977, they now have a pitch in a brand new exhibition at Stockport Museum!

Thanks to the generosity of Heidi Alexander who donated a set of prints to Stockport Museums, punters will see Stockport Market as it once was, and reminisce about times gone by with objects from Stockport's Museum collection.

Councillor Grace Baynham, Cabinet Member for Highways, Parks and Leisure Services at Stockport Council said:
“The Stockport Collection is an exhibition full of hidden gems which documents the rich history of our town centre. With the town centre currently undergoing a period of so much change, it’s fantastic to be able to look back to a snapshot of history captured so brilliantly by Heidi Alexander. A must-see for all residents, to get a sense of the atmosphere of Stockport town centre in the late 1970s.”

Opens at Stockport Museum, 30/31 Market Place, Stockport, SK1 1ES, on Friday 22nd July. Entry is Free!
Opening times: Tuesdays to Saturdays from 10am – 5pm, and Sundays from 11am – 4pm.

About us.....

Glass Umbrella Art is an arts and crafts shop located within the historic Market Hall in the centre of Stockport’s Market Place.

Why Glass Umbrella Art? The ‘Glass Umbrella’ was the nickname given by local people to Stockport’s Market Hall due to it’s glass top and open sides construction. It also fits with what we are about which is to bring together under one roof unique art and crafts created by talented local artists and makers.

To date we have original art and prints, glass and ceramic pieces, jewellery, candles and diffusers, cards, coasters, lamps and much more. The two main artists are Lucy Burgess Art and Only 3 Colours. We also create personalised gifts and welcome special orders and commissions.
