If you can no longer attend your booked slot, Macclesfield Barnaby Festival and IDST! kindly ask that you notify the email address parade@barnabyfestival.org.uk with as much notice as possible. This will enable us to fill every slot and include as many people as we can, as there may be people waiting for your slot.

The showreel parade will be shown live on Macclesfield Barnaby Festival website on Saturday 19th June at midday. It will also be presented at St. Michaels Church on this date a repeated loop for people as part of the Barnaby Bright Programme.

Each group will only have 10 minutes to shoot their scene. Please be on time and come prepared to make the most of your time!

We would like as many people as possible to be in the film, but if that’s not your cup of tea don’t worry. We would still love for you to participate in the workshops and creativity in the preparation weeks before filming starts. You may wish to take part at home and share your content on social media using the hashtag #maccassemble

We are also more than happy to film objects, artworks and materials for your scene too, just remember to bring your storyboard with your idea!

Of course, you can come on your own, as a group, business, school or family! Just make sure you bring your storyboard, materials you need to film your scene and proof of booking. Be the star of the show!

No, because of the COVID regulations you must have signed up for a filming slot. Full information about different slots is available at Macclesfield Barnaby Festival. This is so we can adequately space each participant in line with government regulation and give everyone enough time to film their scene properly. If you show up on the day without a booking you will not be able to film your scene, so make sure you book in advance!

Not a parade as you know it! As 2021 is not a traditional Barnaby Festival year, the team are bringing you something different – the Macc Assemble Showreel Parade. Macc Assemble is part of Barnaby Bright 2021, a collection of Macclesfield midsummer events brought to you by the team behind Barnaby.

As we won’t be doing any traditional parading, we are instead making a film where everyone has a starring role! Between Friday 28 – Monday 31 May, we are inviting pre-booked groups of participants to come to various locations across Macclesfield with a storyboard of ideas, to work with our film crew to show off a talent or creative idea and form a 20 second scene. Each 20 second scene will then be assembled together to make our collective masterpiece, a showreel film which will be shown live on Saturday 19th June at midday.
