Alongside the booze will be live music from some local bands, with R&D Project and Chinese Marbles hitting the stage on Friday night, while KaTo & Joe, Helen Watford, Big Jam and Chester Le Flange Experience play throughout the day and night on Saturday.

Oh, and there’ll also be a Vintage Market run by Windways aimed at bringing more families down on the Saturday afternoon.

Tickets have been flying out so you’d best be quick and get yours sorted, all profits raised will be going to local charities, including Ruby’s Fund, Windways, The Macclesfield Round Table and The Macclesfield Rugby Club Mini and Juniors Teams.
