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.
Looking for something still on the old site? Please use this link.
Below are the most recent additions:
Friends of Memorial Park's 50-50 Club June Draw Winners
The June draw of the Friends of Marple Memorial Park 50-50 Club has been made and the lucky winners announced.
To date £1,824 has been awarded in prizes and a similar amount allocated to Park Funds, so this is a great way to support the volunteers who look after our wonderful park.
There is still time to subscribe before the next draw deadline of 31 July, so please read more about how you can support the Friends of the Park and be in with a chance to win a cash prize each month too!
Funding opportunity for Marple Area Groups
The Marple Website would like to share this great opportunity for funding with groups in the Marple, Marple Bridge, Mellor, Compstall, Strines, Hawk Green and High Lane areas.
Marple's Mutual Aid Group, an amazing success story!
Like most people in Marple, we received a Marple Mutual Aid leaflet through our door and we saw the article on the cover of the Marple Review that was distributed just before lock-down. Learn more about the incredible local volunteers who drove this initiative to success.
