However, organisers say they have taken the "difficult decision" to rearrange it, due to the weather. Storm Lilian swept across the the region overnight and into this morning bringing windy and wet weather with strong gusts of up to 60mph across Greater Manchester. Trees fell onto cars, houses, and tram lines.A number of events have been affected. The first day of Bolton Food and Drink Festival has been postponed following damage to stalls and the main stage.
A post on the Underbanks Instagram page this afternoon said: "As you will be aware, the recent bad weather has been causing widespread issues. "As a result, we've made the difficult decision to postpone this Saturday's Secret Street Party until next weekend. While we know this is disappointing, our first priority is keeping our visitors and staff safe. We hope you are able to join us on Saturday 31st August for a fantastic day on the Underbanks."Sign up to our Stockport newsletter to get the latest updates to your inbox
