Whilst everyone is entitled to their opinions about Macclesfield Town Centre, I've noticed an increase in people stating their or other people's opinions as if they were fact. Maybe it's because the negative voices are often the loudest, but it leads to people having a lack of real understanding about what the town centre actually has to offer. Improvements can and are being made, but if we don't support the businesses we have, we run the risk of losing them, too. So here are some of my favourite 'facts'!

26/06/2023

Support local businesses where you can.

We need your help!

Due to the phenomenal weather, we've had record low admissions over the past few weeks.

Unfortunately with the low amount of visitors we've been getting, it's left us struggling!

So if you're looking for something to do, please come and enjoy a film with us!

Every ticket we sell helps keep our lights on, our projector running and the popcorn warm!

Happy International Cat Day. I checked out a few chippes to find some cats, but I'm starting to suspect that Karl Pilkington's facts about cats in Macclesfield might not be correct! #internationalcatday #macclesfield #Macclesfieldchippy

Last week I popped down to Pearl T Macc on Chestergate to find out more about what they have to offer. I admit to not knowing much about bubble tea and I was blown away by the range and choice of drinks available. I had the tropical punch with mango balls and it was delicious! What's your favourite combo? #bubbletea #bobatea #tapioca #Macclesfield #poppingboba #fancytea #summerdrink
