Stockport Hydro / Chadkirk Chapel Open Afternoon [Sunday 31 December 2023]

Stockport Hydro and Chadkirk Chapel Open Afternoon
Sunday 31st of December 2023 12 - 4pm

Visit your local Hydroelectric Power scheme, producing renewable energy on the River Goyt.

Greater Manchester’s first community owned hydro electric project is run entirely by volunteers*

Producing power that is fed directly into the National Grid, the Hydro creates an income to maintain the scheme, pay a return to investors and contribute to our Environmental Challenge fund**.

Our knowledgeable volunteers will give tours of the site and discuss the complexities and quirks involved in such a venture.



Chadkirk Chapel is open too!

Nearby our friends at the historic Grade II listed Chadkirk Chapel and Country Park are also open for the afternoon. Refreshments will be available, cash only.

Parking available at Dobbies Garden Centre, Dooley Lane or Vale Road Car Park, between both sites and the safest place to cross the road.
