Barnaby Platform

Programme of Events

The Barnaby team have 28 exciting events happening over the Barnaby weekend in addition to the core Barnaby Parade, Art Trail and Listening tent.

These range from creative workshops to concerts and the crowning of Macclesfield Royalty!

Do you have an event that can be listed and promote?

Barnaby has almost 10,000 social media followers, and a busy website and during the festival weekend, footfall in the town centre increases substantially. The organisers want to make use of their networks and channels to support artists, organisations and businesses in Macclesfield.

Have a # feed via the social media platforms: simply tag in #BarnabyPlatform to feature on the feedlot share your activity and events on the Barnaby social media pages and feature your event on our website.

Barnaby Platform will feature on our digital marketing ahead of the festival, so the people of Macclesfield and beyond can follow along and find out about all of the things taking place in the town.
