A new event is lighting up Macclesfield this January.

Macclesfield Town Council are gearing up to host the first ever Northern Light.

Taking the place of The Lantern Parade for a year, this free event promises to brighten up the centre of town on Saturday, January 18.

A giant light up helter-skelter will lend its glow to Market Place while Cheshire Outdoors keeps everyone warm with their marshmallow-toasting fire pits.

Also look out for Lobster a la Carte – a fan favourite at the Lantern Parades - and Chris Marley's fire shows on the hour from 4pm.

Elsewhere, R&G's Beer Vault will be offering some winter-warmers for all ages while ArtSpace hosts craft activities.

Northern Light gets underway at 2pm and runs until 6.30pm on Saturday.
