Crazy Pool at Cuetopia Stockport in Cale Green

Cuetopia Stockport is now open.

There's a new indoor entertainment venue in Stockport, and it has a Crazy Pool layout.

We spotted the signs for Cuetopia Stockport while walking in the nearby Cale Green area of Stockport today - the venue is home to a Crazy Pool course!

Crazy Pool is a cross between the cue sport of Pool and the putting game of Crazy Golf, with wacky and tricky obstacles placed upon the baize. Rather than using a putter, players use a pool/snooker cue to get the ball passed the obstacles and into the cup/hole/pocket.

Some of the 'Pool', 'Snooker' or 'Billiard' table layouts we've seen in these cue-sport and minigolf crossovers have been quite irregular to say the least.

Cuetopia Stockport is also home to an arcade, pinball, regular pool tables, and a bar. The venue is open Monday to Saturday, with details of the opening times on the Cuetopia Stockport website.

Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The Crazy Pool at Cuetopia Stockport will be a new course for us to visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

It's also less than a mile away from us, so is technically our new nearest 'crazy golf' course!

Steam train at Davenport railway station in Stockport

Catching a glimpse of BR Standard 4 76084 Buxton Spa Express at Davenport railway station in Stockport.

Steam Engine 76084 aka the 'Lancashire Lazarus' (and 45690 Leander) passes through Davenport railway station in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport at 9.35am on Saturday 25th February 2017.



The BR Standard 4 2-6-0 locomotive and carriages formed 'The Buxton Spa Express' special charter mainline service.

Just as 76084 passed through a two-coach Northern rail Class 150 Sprinter (150116) called at the station heading north to Manchester and Bolton.

If this Class 150 Sprinter had been 30 seconds faster it would've ruined the view for the trainspotters on the other platform!

For further information visit the 76084 Standard 4 website.

76084 was preceded by a Class 185 TransPennine Express and followed by a Northern Class 142 Pacer Railbus.
