It is the Treacle Market this weekend.

So Macclesfield Nub News met with Co-Organiser Becky Thompson to find out what to expect.

Stalls will be clad in Easter garb. So feel free to come wearing bunny ears.

And while the stalls end at 3:30pm, you can stay out well into the night as the day after will be a Bank Holiday!

Easter entertainment will come from Annie's Saints and Sinners followed by Dos Equis, both are regular Treacle musicians who will steal the show once more.

Tom Higgins is doing Brewbox bar on Market Place.

The Churchyard will not be in use this month, in respect of the Church's Easter service.

So the charity and community stalls that are usually there will not be there for this month.

This means that the Church will not be open like it normally is on Treacle Sunday. So the Angel At My Table Cafe or their toilets will not be open to the public.

Treacle volunteers will assist the congregation in getting in and out of the Church.

"We're very grateful for the ongoing relationship with St. Michael's Church for their use of the churchyard every month," said Becky Thompson.

"So we felt like giving the back their space for Easter Sunday was the least we could do."

Stallswise, Longhorn Biltong have expanded to a gazebo on Exchange Street, following their Treacle debut earlier this year.

Greek street food is back on Castle Street. Long-running Treacle Market stall Fatima's Kitchen also does Mediterranean food.

But if you are eating at home, you can pick up fresh products for your Easter Sunday roast.

There's over 150 stalls to choose from, from local stalls like Wincle Brewery beer to kitchen linen from Verity Rose Macclesfield.

You can welcome in the new season with groovy interiors from The Neighbourhood Threat. Or book a great spring day out with alpaca business Naze View Farm.

Other Maxonians who will be having stalls include Louise Brown Bakes, Clay at Home Kits, For Me and For You, and Maiden Mother and Crone.

Bollington's Happy Valley Honey will have a stall. Happy Badger gifts, Sophie Stock Art and Franglais are also local stallholders.

The weather is looking clear, with bits of sun and a gentle breeze.

The Treacle Market, which will turn 15 years old next year, can be followed on Facebook.
