Welcome to the Macclesfield Barnaby Festival website
2020 will mark ten years since this incarnation of the Barnaby Festival hit Macclesfield’s streets, so we want to make sure it’s a fantastic celebration of all things creative, artistic, moving, cultural, collaborative, spectacular, fun and memorable.
