Macclesfield Pride will take place in our town on July 9, and to help fund the event and the all-year-round work the good cause does, a raffle has been launched.

The raffle, which has tickets which can be bought for £1 from The Macc Pride Pop-up in The Grosvenor Centre, has prizes from a plethora of Macclesfield businesses.

They include a £250 holiday voucher from recently award-nominated Chestergate travel agent Henbury Travel, and a free booth at Pickford Street nightclub Zinc Popworld.

Other prizes include a mezze board and bottle of wine to share between four people at Stanley Street secret bar The Button Warehouse, and a day out with a Macclesfield private transport firm valued at £80.

The opening times for the temporary Macc Pride hub where you can buy the tickets from - and see art from local schools - are as follows.

The raffle winners could bask in luxury with Pott Shrigley's Shrigley Hall offering a Sparkling Afternoon tea for four.

There's also two prizes from businesses in Macclesfield's Duke Court.

All you have to do is pay a pound per sheet, and write your details on the accompanying slip.
