Macclesfield Barnaby Festival (MBF) is seeking a new Chair, or Co-Chairs, to take on leadership of this festival arts charity. In challenging and unprecedented times Barnaby has continued to deliver opportunities for creativity, arts, culture and heritage in the town. We are proud of the innovation we have brought to our work over the last eleven years, and particularly the learning we have developed over the last two years, supported by strong local partnerships and communities
We are now looking forward to the return of a physical Barnaby Festival in June 2022 and further developing the work of MBF to deliver our charitable objectives. It is an exciting time to get involved, working with our talented board of trustees, many partners and the local community.
