Welcome to the Marple Website
This is the community web site for Marple in Stockport. It was started in 1998 to provide useful information for local people and potential visitors and to contribute to the fantastic community spirit that abounds in this small canal town on the edge of the peaks. It continues to do this with regular updates and lots of interaction with the local community.

Below are the most recent additions:
Marple Poppy Appeal 2021 raises £26,368!
Final update from the Marple Poppy Appeal Team:
As we all know, last year's poppy appeal was hindered with the dreaded Covid situation but thankfully this year's appeal was pretty much back on track and the response we received from everybody was phenomenal.
We never chase financial targets or try to beat previous year's figures, as we know we depend totally on the generosity of the local people and the hard work of all the brilliant volunteers, but this year has surpassed anything we have ever achieved with a staggering total of £26,368.54 donated. This is a mix between general public donations, wreath donations and sponsorship from local businesses.
