May the Fourth be with you

Macclesfield Town Centre will be visited next month nine 9 well-known Star Wars characters – as part of the international Star Wars Day celebrations.

Organised by Macclesfield Town Council, visitors to the Town Centre on Saturday May 4th from 10am until 4pm, will be able to enjoy meeting some of their favourite Star Wars friends (and enemies) and having their photograph taken with them. 

The force must be strong in Macclesfield as this follows on from the success of last year’s Star Wars Day when 4 characters visited the town centre bringing some fun to the faces of families, customers and retailers.

Helena Gowler, Community Engagement and Events Officer for Macclesfield Town Council said: ‘We are really looking forward to welcoming the Star Wars characters to the Town Centre again for Star Wars Day. Last year was a huge success with so many people taking the opportunity for a photo with their favourite face from a galaxy far away! This year there will be lots more characters wandering around the town centre. We are really looking forward to seeing everyone’s photos from the day. It would be fantastic if people come dressed up to join in with the fun. Maybe even creating a mini Comicon!’
