Stalybridge Splash

Bank Holiday Monday 25th May

There'll be plenty of monkeying around at this years Stalybridge Splash event.

For the annual entertainment event will not only see mountain gorillas parading the streets, but also a smoke -breathing dragon led by Goblin Queen and her musical entourage!

Now in its 9th year, the annual Tameside Council organised event, will be held on bank holiday Monday 25 May.

Entertainment centres around Armentieres Square, Stalybridge and surrounding streets with the main event starting at 12 noon with pre-show entertainment on the main stage from 11am.

The massive event promises to bring the town centre to life with colourful street theatre, free activity workshops, music and dance for the whole family.

Live bands and dance routines including cheerleading, belly dancing, street dancing, capoeira, and hip-hop throughout will provide entertainment from the main stage throughout the afternoon.

Welcomed back to the bill is Jon Hicks with his fascinating upside down, revolving, 6 foot tall paintings executed with immaculate timing to music and the Black Eagles will be entertaining the crowds with their powerful and graceful acrobatic dance routines set to lively African music.

Have a go at the static athletic challenge, skipping and hoola hooping with the Tameside Sports Development team. All this plus strolling artists to keep you entertained all afternoon.

Free craft activity workshops will be on offer including hat making, flag making, fridge magnet making and free face and henna hand painting. A huge canvas will also be in the square for would-be artists to try their hand.

A large funfair will be operating on Tesco car park and in Armentières Square and on Trinity Street inflatable slides and rides.

For the health and safety of everyone attending this year’s event, organisers would like visitors to be aware that a strict alcohol ban will once again be enforced throughout the town centre. Anyone carrying alcohol will be asked to leave the event arena immediately.
