It's a course that we've had on our to visit list for a long time!

Pubs of Stockport during the coronavirus pandemic

A look at Stopfordian Pubs during the Coronavirus Pandemic.


Four years ago today we photographed The Kings Tap on Station Road in Cheadle Hulme. It became the first of 265 pubs, bars and clubs we visited in the borough between April and the 4th of July when the first coronavirus pandemic lockdown ended.

Pub number 1 - The Kings Tap on Station Road in Cheadle Hulme. A lovely Art Deco building. We'd never seen it shuttered before the lockdown

We visited each of the pubs while on our daily outdoor exercise between Wednesday 1st April and before pubs were allowed to reopen with social distancing measures on Saturday 4th July.

It gave us something to do during the lockdowns and it was interesting to see the variety of architecture, different signage, parts of the town we haven't been to for a long time and other parts of the area we've never been to. I documented the pubs on Instagram using the #StopfordianPubs tag.

At the 265th pub on our lockdown 'pub crawl'. Not a drop was drunk on our daily walks in April, May, June and July

Las Vegas will soon be home to a new minigolf venue when PopStroke opens at Town Square next month.

PopStroke Las Vegas will be home to two 18-hole minigolf putting courses.

Las Vegas will be the eleventh location for PopStroke.

Check out the PopStroke website for more information about PopStroke Las Vegas, as well as the other PopStroke miniature golf course locations in Florida, Texas, Arizona and Alabama.


The brand has plans to open 14 more courses by the end of this year!

Emily's heading to Las Vegas soon, so hopefully will get a chance to check it out on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

We've been to Town Square before and had some nice meals there on previous holidays in Vegas. Including one where we celebrated my victory in a miniature golf tournament.
