The pub, which is one of the best rated places to eat in Macclesfield on TripAdvisor, is a way to celebrate Guy Fawkes Night, but away from the hubbub and noise of fireworks.

Christine Hartley is co-publican at The Ship Inn, Wincle.

"We are delighted to host our second silent bonfire night," she said.

"We did it last year and it was really popular.

"Because we are so dog friendly, we came up with the idea.

"To be honest, I am scared of fireworks as well!

"So we get into the spirit, we light a couple of fire pits, put the gazebos up, but there's no fireworks round here.

"You'll be able to enjoy our food, providing a full BBQ with burgers, sausages, chicken, and more which you can pay for.

"We also serve a doggy dinner, all-year round, for just £3.50.

There will be free sparklers and marshmallows for kids that attend. (Image - The Ship Inn)
