Treacle Market returns

Sunday 25^th April sees the long awaited return to Macclesfield’s streets for the Treacle Market – which, as a result of the Covid pandemic, has been on hold since last December.

Despite the green light for outdoor markets for much of 2020, the Treacle Market has erred on caution and taken steps to avoid encouraging large groups.

“We are so heartened to see the determined vaccine roll out, and the significant drop in Covid numbers” said organiser Jane Munro. 

Treacle hope to ease traders back into business with smaller Treacles initially, the first of which will be on Sunday 25^th April and, hopefully, a larger one on 30^th May. The two events will provide the much needed opportunities for small traders to bring their goods to market for the first time in 2021 and visitors are encouraged to come along to support them.

Treacle provides a great opportunity to buy something delicious, beautiful or useful from an enticing mix of food, craft and vintage stalls whilst exchanging friendly banter with both stall holders and shoppers.

“That’s what markets are all about” added Jane.

To maintain safety for all, traders will wear masks, regularly cleanse their hands and providing sanitisers for visitors.

“All we ask is that Macc shoppers come along with a mask (if able) and a bag – and support our traders and the bricks and mortar Macclesfield shops and cafes that are open. By spending locally, rather than online, you’ll be helping the town get back on its feet . . .”
