    Northern Light

    2 pm to 6.30 pmMacclesfield Market Place

    Macclesfield Town Council have introduced a new event for 2025, bringing ‘Northern Light’ to the dark January days.

    Expect an illuminating performance from juggler, Chris Hickey

    Taking the place of The Lantern Parade for this year, Northern Light is a free event that promises a feel-good afternoon and evening – in the centre of town – with a few familiar faces helping out!

    A giant illuminated Helter Skelter will lend its glow to Market Place while Cheshire Outdoors keeps everyone warm with marshmallow-toasting fire pits.

    Chris Hickey will entertain with some close up magic before hopping on his unicycle for some LED juggling.

    Look out for Lobster a la Carte – a fan favourite at the Lantern Parades, but watch out for his tail!

    R&G’s Beer Vault will be offering some winter-warmers for all ages and ArtSpace will be offering some crafting that’ll help guide your way around the dark January evenings.

    Chris Marley will put on a fire show on the hour, starting 4 pm, and we’ve a few other surprises up our sleeves too.

    Put on your best light-up trainers and we’ll see you in Market Place, Saturday 18th January, 2 pm – 6:30 pm.

    Chris Marley will literally be playing with fire – albeit safely!
