With the ingenious efforts of the visionary team at Totally Stockport, the town’s Business Improvement District, a captivating new trail of ‘Frogtastic Invention’ frogs has emerged, adorning the town center with their whimsical presence, perched upon giant cogs.
Nineteen delightful frogs, brought to life by the skillful hands of local artists, and sponsored by our very own local businesses and organizations, now stand proudly as ambassadors of various inventions. These vibrant and imaginative sculptures come together to form a marvelous, free, and enjoyable outdoor art trail for all to savor. As you journey along the trail, be prepared to encounter wonders and perhaps even learn something new!

By entering via the website, you could claim your very own froggy prize! Look out for Zippy as well – who would have imagined that a fastener with teeth, invented way back in 1891, would become an essential household item over two centuries later?
As you continue your adventure through the town center, be astonished by the tale of how a ship’s engineer inadvertently stumbled upon the invention of the Slinky. Delve into the history behind the name Alexander Graham and discover the incredible duration of the first-ever flight.
