2017 Observer comic prize winner, Tor Freeman, will be in conversation on the day in the Cartoon-a-room along with U.S. Cartoonist Jess Smart Smiley – who will be running a drawing workshop live from his studio in Utah!
As in previous years, selected classic cartoons will be showcased on the day.

This year the buzz for the event will commence early – one seeing Dennis and Gnasher cartoonist Nigel Parkinson visit Macclesfield’s library on June 21st, to launch the Summer reading challenge (this year themed around the Beano, finally connecting libraries and reading to comics!!)
A truly unique event for both comics and Macclesfield.
