Every Thursday, we publish a round-up of the best things to do in Macclesfield.

Some of which, are events which are advertising themselves for FREE on our Macclesfield Nub News What's On section.

As well as the Treacle Market, there are plenty of great events happening in town this weekend.

Here are our picks...

Giant Cake

Get Baked UK and Yas Bean are collaborating to make what could be Macclesfield's biggest cake.

Macclesfield grab-and-go coffee spot Yas Bean will be hosting a big cake event this Saturday.

And when we say big, we mean massive, massive cake. 

It will be a 24 layer chocolate cake which Yas Bean describes "as is the stuff of dreams/nightmares". 

It comprises 8kg of Belgian dark chocolate, and each slice is over 800g.

On the day - slices will be first come, first served. No savesies, no reservations, just turn up to the chaos. And enjoy some locally-roasted coffee, alongside the delicious cake.

Yas Bean is located on 219 Buxton Road, SK10 1NB, and is open from 9-4 on Saturday.

Karaoke Challenge

The MaccPride™ karaoke contest is sponsored by Legacy Funeral Care of Hurdsfield Road.
