MACC-POW! Macclesfield's Mighty Comic Art Festival, 2025!

MACC-POW! returns for its' 10th celebratory YEAR with a full weekend celebrating comic book art in the heart of MACCLESFIELD IN CHESHIRE. A truly unique event for the town that brings together both local and international creators in a leap and one-single-bound! Get up-close and personal with legendary comic pros, and the bright stars of the future, as we celebrate this wonderful world with a diverse mix of amazing creators.

Our main exhibitors day takes place once again in the listed TOWN HALL BUILDING on Saturday June 28th (10-4PM) with three rooms bursting with incredible creators exhibiting their work and workshops, thanks to the continued support of Macclesfield Town Council.

We have a mini comic art film festival taking place over four days at CINEMAC (Macclesfield's independent cinema) starting 26th of June screening classic films and comic art-based documentaries, showcasing how the medium leaps from the page onto the big screen and back again.

There will also be a full weekend of creative workshops, and interactive elements from 28th-29th of June in the Town Hall, the Library, cafés/restaurants and ROOM FOR COMICS, Macclesfield's comics and cartoon art studio.

Details for all workshops can be found in the WHAT'S ON section. 

This promises to be our most ambitious year yet, bringing international and national creators into our great town, for a weekend unlike any other! If you have a passion for comics, or are totally new but intrigued by the medium, make sure you put MACC-POW! on your creative calendar!
