We hosted our biggest ever Summer Festival in June, we launched our new website and we won the special recognition award at this year’s Stockport Business Awards so the Christmas Festival is a great way to close a brilliant year.
“We’re incorporating some indoor activities this year as we know the weather can be a little unpredictable so we hope that will encourage families to come along. The Heatons business community works really hard to deliver community events and ensure that the Heatons is a great place to live, work and prosper.”
