We would like to remind you, don't drink and drive. If you do have somebody who is willing to drive without drinking (or you've arranged some accommodation), Stockport is easy to reach by car. The M60 motorway (formally M63) passes through the centre of the town (see Map below) and links with the M62 (Liverpool to Yorkshire), M61/M6 (North), M56/M6 (Midlands/South).
