Macclesfield already has a thriving arts scene, and a new ace is about to be put up its sleeve.
That is as a new burlesque show is coming to Chestergate next month.
'The Burlesque Speakeasy' will take place at The Swan with Two Necks at 65 Chestergate.
Macclesfield resident Jinn Legion (using her burlesque stage name) will curate the event, taking place on Saturday 27th May.
Some of the best burlesque performers in the north west will be performing at the event, which is listed on the Macclesfield Nub News What's On section.
Tickets are close to selling out, and you can get yours HERE. There could be some on the door.
Jinn - who has a day job in medical communications - explained what to expect from the new Macclesfield event.
"I've been learning burlesque in Manchester for three years now", said Jinn.
"And I really feel like something like that can happen here in Macclesfield.
"I'm hoping that there will be quite a few people who come to the show that have never been to a burlesque show before.
"Burlesque is the art of the tease. The show will be 18+.
"The benefits of burlesque are confidence and it is a really supportive environment.
"I've met so many amazing friends through it. It is such a nice community to be in.
"The Swan with Two Necks is the perfect venue as it is very central and has a great stage.
" hey reached out to me and I'm delighted to work with them, especially as a female-led business.
"A major goal with the show is to make it an inclusive cast. We have people of colour and people of different sizes.
"For this one they are all female-presenting, but in the future we would love to welcome male performers and drag queens to celebrate humanity in all its forms through burlesque."
If this event is a success, it will be become a regular part of the Macclesfield arts performance community.
Macclesfield: Once again, get your tickets HERE.
Macclesfield will be party central on the day, as the new burlesque event coincides with Party in the Pews just round the corner.
