We will be visiting the Artisan Treacle Market held once a month in Macclesfield. Its’ origins go back centuries but was established in l988 in its’ current form. It is one of the largest markets in the North West with over 140 stalls. If you are looking for an early start to Christmas shopping you will surely find something here. There is just about everything from Crafts, local food and drink producers and lots lots more. There are street entertainers and plenty of choice of coffee shops, bars etc.  After we have exhausted the Market and its’ attractions we will be off to Leather’s Smithy , an ancient pub, set by Macclesfield Forest and overlooking a reservoir. It has a good reputation for good food, a big selection of real ales and hospitality. We will enjoy a 2 course Sunday Lunch followed by tea/coffee

WHEN? Sunday 26th October 2025. Seats are on sale. Dep.9am  Ret 5pm. PRICE: £37 includes Market and 2 course Sunday Lunch followed by tea/coffee.   BIG FAVOUR to ask. If you are paying cash, please have right money as we are always short of change. Many thanks.
