Treacle Market
A monthly market on the last Sunday of the month. Not for the sale of treacle but for artisan foods and inedible antiques and other arty and interesting objets. It is very much an event and in lively contrast to the weekly market days where successive edicts by the council have seen the market stalls kicked from one site to another seemingly to get rid of the nuisance of them. And it nearly succeeded.
Treacletown a nickname for Macclesfield said to have arisen because a horse-drawn wagon spilled its barrels of treacle onto the steep cobbled street to be enjoyed by the children and dogs of the town.
