Whats on guide
The biggest joke in Macclesfield is that the town was once branded a cultural cul de sac. Ha! A glance at our What’s On will quickly dispel such ideas and leave you spoilt for choice and short of time, as you try to fit everything in. Macc’s musical heritage boasts Ian Curtis and Joy Division links and John Mayall the Godfather of British Blues came from the town. Macc in the present day continues to defy the national trend with vibrant live gigs by talented young bands in the town’s pubs most nights. It has a thriving programme of classical music, its own Opera Company and a uniquely charming Cinema in an old Sunday School showing the top blockbuster flicks. Catch Poetry cabarets, Open Mics, Stitch and Bitch and Morris dancing. Book groups, jive nights, samba and four fascinating Museum sites celebrating the towns Silk Heritage with working machinery, and an Egyptian Mummy case in their collections. There are contemporary galleries showing National and regional artists and best of all an exhilarating and exhausting Barnaby Arts festival weekend in June. Search the Whats On pages for Printmaking in the hills, Heritage walks and specialist Markets and better still sign up for a weekly prompt for all things at the heart of Macclesfield. We promise you’ll never be bored.
