Maxonians, prepare for an Easter Egg-stravaganza.

There is just a week to go until Macclesfield Town Council's Easter event.

From crafts and face painting to circus acts and bubbles, there will be plenty to keep visitors of all ages entertained.

Rachael Higham, the town council's event officer, said: "We want to help people make the most of the long Easter weekend.

"Traditionally we have always had a sunny day and fingers are crossed for this year too!

"We have brought back some old favourites such as the Face Painting Queen and the Big Bubble Man, but there will be plenty to do and see – and don't forget, it is all free to take part in!"

There are a wide range of free activities planned (Credit: Nub News)

The Easter Egg-stravaganza runs from 11am to 3pm on Saturday, April 19.

Macclesfield Community ArtSpace will be holding Easter themed craft workshops, children will be able to get their face painted, there will be performances and play with hoola hoops from LetsCircus, along with the return of the Big Bubble Man.

Visitors can also pick up Easter bunny trail maps which will lead you on a walk around the town.

Spot the smartly dressed bunnies hiding on the shelves or in the windows of local shops to be in with a chance of winning prizes.

As well as all these free activities, Macclesfield Town Council are offering free bus travel across the town.
