Windystock is back and promises to be 'bigger and better than ever'.

After a successful revival in 2025, the Windyway Trust is gearing up to host another family-friendly music festival.

With more than a dozen acts set to take to the stage on Saturday, July 25, there promises to be something for everyone.

Chris Earles, chair of trustees at Windyway, said: "Windystock 2026 is going to be bigger and better than ever!

"We are really looking forward to the event!

"It's lovely to see so many people enjoying an open-air festival and bringing people together to help and support Macclesfield's local animal charity."

She added: "There are so many highlights!

"We have worked really hard to try and cover most genres of music, with little to no overlap between any of the 14 acts."
