I LOVE Strawberry Festival – Hits on the Pitch 2022!
6 Jul 2022MARTIN KEMP RETURNS TO STOCKPORT FOR SOME BIG STAGE ‘GOLD’ HITS ON THE PITCH
Bramhall is absolutely thrilled to be welcoming back Martin Kemp, former bass guitarist with 80s New Romantic pop sensations, Spandau Ballet. Back in the 80s, Martin graced a Smash Hits poster on every schoolgirl’s wall, with a megawatt smile and dimples to match. Now a household name in his own right, Martin is returning to Stockport Rugby Club for the 3rd amazing year of Hits on the Pitch. The much-loved Strawberry Festival opens on Saturday 23rd July. The fun and frolics continue throughout Sunday 24th July, too. Clear your diaries!
A Day (and Night) to Remember
This year’s event will benefit from even bigger and better bars. Plus, welcome new additions include a Gin Palace and fabulously fizzy Prosecco Lounge, along with oodles of International food choices. Safe to say, you are in for a treat. Hits on the Pitch HAS to be the area’s biggest and best music event, and this year’s line-up will be another sure-fire winner.

So true! Along with the Spandau Ballet gold-en boy, you’ll be:
