Macclesfield is celebrating its mighty textile past and thriving creative present this week.
Macclesfield Textile Week brings together artists, makers, schools, charities and local businesses to honour the town’s silk heritage — from cottage‑industry button makers to the 70 mills that once powered a global market.
There’s a full programme of workshops, talks, exhibitions and community showcases across the town from 19–27 September.
Perfect inspiration for sewists, makers and anyone who loves textiles.
