The Treacle Market is back.

It seems to have come around quickly but it's time once again for Macclesfield's monthly market.

There have been a lot of changes in the town centre recently, with new benches, bins and planters being installed.

As such, this month's Treacle Market will have a slightly different layout.

Organiser Becky Thompson said: "We've changed the Treacle layout a bit this month, to accommodate changes in the town centre such as new shop fronts, planters and benches – and sometimes, a refresh is, well, refreshing! And draws footfall around the town. 

"Please come and find your favourite traders and discover new ones along the way. 

"We can't wait to see everyone on Sunday!"

You can expect more than 140 stalls at the May market, including all of your favourite returning traders.

There is also a return to the cobbles for Kala Walsh Ceramics, who appeared at Treacle last year.

Meanwhile, Owl Farm, who have a produce stall on Exchange Street, will now be flipping burgers and sausages opposite the Town Hall.

With Monday being a bank holiday there is no excuse not to enjoy a cocktail mixed by Tib & Co while taking in the live music in Market Place.

Saints & Sinners get the party started 11.30am.

At 12.30pm the 60-strong Rock Choir take to the stage.

Closing the show at 2pm is Dandelion James, who will be promoting his new EP ahead of the launch at Five Clouds on May 31.

Treacle Market starts at 10am, wrapping up at 3.30pm.

Stalls can be found on Exchange Street, Mill Street, Castle Street, Market Place, St Michaels Church, Butter Market, Upper Market Place and Chestergate.
