Introducing Barnaby Platform!
Barnaby Festival is all about celebrating the creativity of Macclesfield. Through Barnaby Platform we want to highlight the incredible events and activities taking place around Macclesfield throughout the year particularly surrounding and during a festival weekend.
Barnaby has almost 10,000 social media followers, and a busy website and during the festival weekend, footfall in the town centre increases substantially. We want to make use of our networks and channels to support artists, organisations and businesses in Macclesfield.
We’re creating a # feed via our social media platforms: simply tag in #BarnabyPlatform to feature on the feed. We will share your activity and events on our social media pages and feature your event on our website.
Barnaby Platform will feature on all of our print and digital marketing ahead of the festival, so the people of Macclesfield and beyond can follow along and find out about all of the things taking place in the town.
If you want to have your event featured on this webpage then please complete this form – send any images to platform@barnabyfestival.org.uk.
For more information, including terms and conditions, to use the Barnaby Platform Logo please see below or contact us on platform@barnabyfestival.org.uk

Logo Terms of Use
The Barnaby Platform logo is available to be added onto any digital or physical marketing you produce. Please read carefully the terms of usage below, it includes some important details and some tips for getting the best out of the logo.
By using the Barnaby Platform Logo you are agreeing to the Barnaby Platform Terms and Conditions.
- Only the logos provided in the Platform resource pack are official Barnaby Platform logos. These are high-resolution png files, suitable for digital and print use. Do not download or screenshot shared versions of the logo, this will reduce the quality and effectiveness of the logo.
- The logos provided must be used in their entirety. Do not crop the logo, or use only the image, or only the text.
- Do not attempt to change the colours of the logos. They should not be converted to fit your branding. Printing the logo in black and white should only be done where colour printing is not possible.
- Do not distort the logo’s dimensions. Ensure that resizing takes place with the original ratios intact.
Guidance:
- To make sure the logo doesn’t get lost in your imagery or documentation, there should be as much space around the logo as is provided on the png files. Crowding this space will make the logo less clear to see and reduce its impact.
- When resizing the logo to fit your purposes, make sure the original ratios are retained. This means not stretching the logo to be taller or wider independently, you should adjust both height and width in equal measures.
- When using the logo on a plain, light background try using the transparent version. When using the logo on a bright, coloured or patterned background, use the version with the dark blue surround.
