Address

St Peter's Parish Centre, Green Lane, Hazel Grove, Stockport SK7 4EA

Useful Info

St Peters has a very nice wooden dance floor, a bar (with limited snacks), lots of tables to sit around and plentiful parking. It is located close to Stepping Hill Hospital, just off the A6 in Hazel Grove, south of Stockport. There are plenty of buses going along the A6. Going North, the bus stops are either just before or just after the Sainsburys. Going South, the bus stop is opposite Sainsburys. It is about a 5-6 minute walk from the bus stops to St Peters.

Eating

If you are travelling from a distance and want to eat before the dance there are plenty of places to eat along the A6. Please be aware that the quality of these establishments can vary greatly and we do not have any specific recommendations.

Directions

On the A6, at the traffic lights opposite Sainsbury's, turn onto New Moor Lane (right from Stockport, left from High Lane/Disley). Take the 3rd left into Grenville Road, left at the bottom into Green Lane, and left shortly after that into the Parish Centre.

Useful Info

The Reading Room has a smooth lino-covered dance floor. There is a kitchen, which we use to brew tea and coffee for the interval break. The club supplies tea, coffee, milk, sugar and biscuits. Please bring your own cup/mug. The Reading Room is located on the minor road that runs North/South between the A6 in High Lane and the B6101 (Stockport Road) in Marple. Sadly, there is no public transport to or from the Reading Room on Friday evenings. You either need to live locally and walk or have access to some wheels. Parking is on street, normally within 5 minutes walk. The purple rectangle on the map below shows where members usually park. Parking is not permitted directly outside the hall.

NB: Google Maps has the location for Hawk Green Folk Dance Club in the wrong place! (We are trying to get it changed). If you click on the information for Hawk Green FDC it gives the correct address, but the pin on the map is about 150 yards away on Hawk Green Rd.

Eating

If you are looking for somewhere to eat before the dance the Crown Hawk Green Pub (1 Hawk Green Road, 0161 427 2678, http://www.crownhawkgreen.pub/) is just around the corner and serves up-market pub grub. There is also the Hawk Green Fryery just a few steps down the hill from the Reading Room. It is open, take-out only, from 5-9:30pm on a Friday.

Directions

From Marple: go South for 1 mile on the B6101. You will pass a big old mill on the right. Shortly after that, as you come to the brow of a hill the Reading Room will be on the right. From the A6 in High Lane: go North for 1.6 miles. Just before the brow of a hill there is a large green recreational space on the right. Immediately after the brow of the hill the Reading Room will be on your left.

Useful Info

Adlington Village Hall is about 15 minutes drive south of the Hawk Green Reading Room and is where Adlington Folk Dance Club meet on Wednesdays. It has a nice wooden dance floor and there is a kitchen, which we can use to brew tea and coffee for the interval break. The club will supply tea, coffee, milk, sugar and biscuits. Please bring your own cup/mug.

The Village Hall is is located just off the A523 (Poynton/Macclesfield road) just west of the junction (traffic lights) by the Toby Carvery. There is plenty of parking both in front of and behind the hall. Adlington Railway station is a 5-minute walk away.

If Mill Lane is still inaccessible from the A523 (the closure is scheduled to end mid-February) you can park in one of the laybys that are located just North or South of the A523/Mill Lane junction.

If you are looking for somewhere to eat before the dance the Toby Carvery is a few minutes walk away.
