Stalybridge Town Team receives Rotary donation to support Bridge Fest

Volunteers behind one of Stalybridge’s most popular community events have received a welcome funding boost thanks to the generosity of Tameside Rotary.

Stalybridge Town Team has been awarded £250 from Tameside Rotary to support this year’s Bridge Fest, the annual music festival which brings live entertainment, visitors and a vibrant atmosphere to the town centre.

The volunteer-led organisation said it was delighted to receive the donation, which will help towards the costs of staging the event and continuing to provide free entertainment for the community.

Vice chair for Stalybridge Town Team, Chris Tyler said:

“We are thrilled to receive a cash boost of £250 from Tameside Rotary to go towards our annual Bridge Fest music event.

“It’s great to have the support of the community with this event and our team of volunteers work so hard to bring Bridge Fest to Stalybridge each year.

“We would like to say a huge thank you to Tameside Rotary and Mark Llewellin, High Sheriff of Greater Manchester, for their support.”

Bridge Fest has become a highlight of Stalybridge’s events calendar, showcasing local musical talent and helping to attract visitors into the town while supporting local businesses.

The donation reflects Tameside Rotary’s ongoing commitment to supporting community projects and initiatives that make a positive difference across the borough.

‘Has Bridge Got Talent?’ Auditions announced for Bridge Fest 2026

Aspiring performers are being invited to take centre stage as auditions open for this year’s Bridge Fest in Stalybridge.

Organisers from Stalybridge Town Team have launched a call-out for musicians, singers and artists to showcase their talents as part of the popular community festival, set to return on Saturday, September 5.

Branded “Has Bridge Got Talent?”, the auditions will take place on Saturday, April 18 at Bohemian Lounge, giving local performers the chance to secure a spot in the festival line-up.

The initiative aims to highlight homegrown talent and give artists from across the area an opportunity to perform in front of a wider audience during one of the town’s biggest annual events.

Anyone interested in auditioning is encouraged to get in touch with the Stalybridge Town Team via email at [email protected].

Bridge Fest has become a staple of the local calendar, bringing together live music and entertainment, and organisers say this year’s event is already shaping up to be bigger than ever.

🌿 A Fresh Splash of Green on the Stalybridge Canal! 🌿

Our amazing volunteers have been busy once again — this time teaming up with the Canal & River Trust to create a brand‑new canal‑side planter near Tesco.

Together, we built and planted a bespoke canal‑boat‑style planter, now filled with herbs and wildflowers to brighten the towpath and support local biodiversity.

This project is a great example of what partnership working can achieve for our town. We’re proud to play our part in improving the environment and creating welcoming spaces for residents and visitors to enjoy.

More joint projects are planned throughout the year — watch this space for updates!

A strong turnout of volunteers joined the Stalybridge Town Team this morning for another successful community tidy-up.

Residents of all ages came together to help make the town look its best, collecting litter and taking pride in their local surroundings.

We were particularly pleased to welcome the “little litter pickers” who took part.

Their enthusiasm and willingness to get involved provided a real boost to the morning’s activities.

The Town Team would like to remind residents that everybody is welcome to join future sessions, whether for a short time or the full event.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to another productive and positive morning for Stalybridge. ♥️
