Cinema
A small and intimate cinema with a little bar situated on the top 2 floors of the old Sunday school built in the 1800. Fabulous building. Very uncomfy seats (as they ‘ saved’ them from the original Majestic Art Deco picture house). Although thankfully they have now added a few sofas at the back -which I think you have to reserve

Very old Church in the centre of town. 11th or 13 Century can’t remember! An extremely expensive stained glass window by dante or Rossetti or William Morris- one of that ‘arts and crafts’ gang (can’t remember which) - insured for £13million .

Macclesfield was one of the few places in the uk that wove silk - and there is still a white mulberry tree outside the old Sunday school in recognition.

Macclesfield is the home of Hovis ! - Hovis Mill is now converted into flats but you can walk along the canal to see it and the lovely wharf there filled with canal boats.
