The lunchtime concert from 1.15 - 2.15pm and is a performance by the many talented musicians from the Ukrainian community in Macclesfield and Congleton.

The free event will have refreshments, children's crafts, book & charity stalls, and live music from Open Strings Macc and local talent Lilly Hill.

The festivities are a precursor and after party to the Macclesfield Lantern Parade, which will begin at Silk Museum near Park Green at 5:30pm on Saturday 18th February.
