Sports & Leisure
An old mill town located at the foothills of the Pennines, Stalybridge has so much unspoilt countryside to explore. Take a boat trip along the Huddersfield Narrow Canal and be sure to enjoy lazy afternoons in the town’s riverside cafes. Stalybridge is a favourite haunt for ramblers; there are official walkways and published guides which help you make the most of the picturesque scenery available on your doorstep.
For sports fans, the town is also home to local football club, the Stalybridge Celtics, and two cricket teams. If you’re keen on golf, why not visit the 18-hole Stamford (Stalybridge) Golf Course – you don’t even have to be a member to use the facilities. Or why not test your targeting skills at the Stalybridge Archery Club?
Stalybridge has a renowned reputation for its nightlife. Catch great live bands at the acclaimed Viva bar, or dance the night away at Rififi nightclub. There’s a variety of decadent restaurants in the town centre, not forgetting the number of traditional rural pubs just waiting to be discovered. New clubs, bars and restaurants are springing up in the town centre all the time, so you’ll never be short of places to go!
