Following the overwhelming success of Stockport’s Giant Leap Frog Art Trail in 2019 and Stockport’s Gigantic Leap Frog Art Trail in 2021, the Stockport Frogs are back for 2023!
This summer we are welcoming a brand new art trail – Stockport’s Great Frogtasic Inventions Trail!

19 frogtastic invention frogs will be hopping onto their giant cogs located throughout the town centre, creating an educational, engaging and vibrant, outdoor art trail attracting thousands of people from across the region. People from all ages and backgrounds, from businesses, schools and community groups will once again be attracted to discover the trail and explore the town centre to seek out all the fantastic frogs.
You can pick up your map / guide to the trail from town centre shops or download it HERE
