1261 Charter Year celebration
The Macclesfield 1261 Festival commemorates the 764th anniversary of the granting of the town charter in 1261.
But it’s not just a commemoration, it’s a key cultural event – a celebration of the town’s creativity and its communities.
To encourage community involvement and enrich the festival experience, Macclesfield Town Council are providing a funding stream, enabling local individuals, businesses, and groups to apply for financial help to contribute unique and engaging activities.
Macclesfield Town Council are offering up to £250 to use towards a project for the festival. Funding can be used to:
- Host live music performances in bars, cafés, or public spaces.
- Create costumes, props, or stage designs for performances.
- Organise live art displays or installations in shops and other venues.
- Support any other innovative and engaging activity that contributes to the festival atmosphere.
Activities should be free to access but revenue can still be obtained in usual ways by eg. cafe’s, shops etc.
