The LAST Stretford Social of the year 3rd Dec
It is ALMOST time for the last Stretford Socials of the year on 3rd December from 12-4pm. A special festive edition, it will take place in The SQ area of the Mall and visitors can expect a day filled with Christmas shopping, food, drink and cheer!
There’ll be performances of classic Christmas carols from N:GL, Stretford’s youth mentorship programme based in the Mall, as well as winter-themed arts and a Christmas themed preschool play area.
For the adults, there’ll be a whole host of independent market traders selling gifts for unique Christmas shopping; as well as festive hot dogs and drinks served up by The SQ themselves (including mulled wine of course!).
