| Macc live |
| |
It has been an amazing month in Macclesfield. Winterfest
has showcased performance, poetry, comedy and more and lots and
lots of music. Macc has always known for its lively music
scene but has truly surpassed itself with touring groups
from classical to African drummers and home
grown Opera. One of the highlights was the stage in the
Marketplace which truly showed what a great al fresco
performance space this town centre can be. Not deterred
by freezing fingers, ukuleles, Irish music, and brass
bands were heard at this months Treacle. Keep it coming we
say!

| Visitors beware |
| |
|
Christmas is a time for visitors in Macclesfield, many
of whom are returning home to their old patch to see
friends and family. They are in for a shock if they
venture into the new Visitor information Centre next to
the Old Town Hall. Formerly a great place to find out
about Nordic cruises but lacking much info about Macc
itself, it has been transformed! With a swanky refit in
Make it Macclesfield colours it is a place that really
means business and is serious about the town.
|
|
|
Not just a resource for visitors, head here for event ticket sales, local info, Macc Football and
Rugby strips and lots of Macclesfield goods. They’ve even got
a Joy Division section!
