The second “Fridays on The Square” organised by Tameside Council, was a huge success with hundreds of local residents soaking up the lively atmosphere.
People took to Fletcher Square in Ashton on Friday where they could buy an array of food and drink such as stone baked pizzas, thai food and toasties as well as a plethora of cold and hot drinks. There was also live music and entertainment making the event fun for all ages.
The events are being trialled in the town centre and are funded by the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) for Communities and Place.

Councillor Sangrita Patel (Assistant Executive Member for culture, heritage and digital inclusivity) said, “I’m really pleased the second event was as successful as the first! The event is proving popular with families and groups of all ages who come along and enjoy the great food and music. Fridays on the Square is going from strength to strength providing the feel good community gathering that we need in Ashton.”
The next Friday's on the Square will be on November 3rd.
