What's On is brought to you by our sponsors, Wincle Beer.

Thankfully, there is plenty going on this weekend to keep you entertained no matter the weather.

Remember you can advertise your event with Macclesfield Nub News and get it featured in next week's round-up.

Oktoberfest

Park Green car park will play host to Oktoberfest on Saturday.

The free event will feature a range of guest ales and sausages as well as the infamous Oompah Stompers and MORA, plus DJs.

The Oompah Stompers are a fusion of traditional Bavarian party band with German oompah favorites mingled with Bavarian polka style pop hits.

Meanwhile, MORA & The Fabulous Wonderfuls bring a 'unique blend of righteous anger and soul-lifting songs to rouse your spirit and move your feet'.

Father and son Alan and Stuart Bailey, from Trackside Studios, have organised Hospice Rocks in memory of the late Maureen Bailey.

All of the bands taking part are regulars at the rehearsal studio, including headliners, The Virginmarys.
