Bitterly cold winds, rain, sleet snow. Brave shoppers shopped and the resourceful stallholders bivouacked! Treacle Market, Macclesfield is the best market in the North West and is held on the last Sunday in the month.

Treacle Market February 2014

First Treacle of the year for Bonker*s, first ever for Beanie and  it was so blustery we had to tether ourselves to the trees in market square. A new and very enterprising venture “Teen Treacle” took place in the churchyard. Our girl’s made numerous sales on their own and we picked up some treasures ourselves which I just had to share! There really is something for everyone and some gems to be found!

Great turn out at Treacle today for our last market of 2012. Not sure what the collective name is for market traders but what an amazing gathering of great folk with fabulous products, all set in the wonderful market town of Macclesfield. Furthermore what a fabby following of loyal supporters Treacle has each and every month without fail, rain or shine….. Thank you! Huge thanks also, to market creator and manager Jane Munroe and foodie manager Debbie Quinn for inviting us back each month. 

Treacle Market and Barnaby Festival 2012, Macclesfield

Posted: June 26, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Art, Art Market, artisan market, Barnaby Festival, Treacle Macclesfield, Treacle Market | Tags: , , | Leave a comment

We had a superb time on our stall at Treacle Market this Sunday as always, but this Sunday was particularly special as it was also the 4th day of the Barnaby Festival, so lots of events, performers, and exhibitions to see. The sun came out, the rain stayed away  and Chestergate was festooned in the most wonderful gigantic bunting.

The street performers were great, including a contortionist and a crazy man with a suitcase (speaker) who was herding chickens into shops, ducking from overhead helicopters and running from gunfire amongst other things. We saw Teresa Wilson’s wonderful “The Ecchoing Green” sculpture installation in the beautiful King Edward Chapel, which was dark and filled with trees and the sound of crows cawing. Very eerie but equally beautiful, the girls loved it!

Treacle Market – Macclesfield

Superb day at Treacle market, Macclesfield on Sunday (every last Sunday of the month). Glorious sunshine all day and the numbers who turned out to shop were tremendous as always. Lots of great stalls with top quality food, beverages, vintage and handmade products and quirky goods. The owl man was there with his enormous eagle owl and there was morris dancing. We were very impresses by a group of enterprising youngsters (aged approx 9) who’d made macrame bracelets in red white and blue and were giving 25% of their proceeds to charity. We got to meet our lovely fb friend Hilary Cottier and her infamous wire fox terrier Tabitha who arrived in her carriage!

Great day at Treacle on Sunday, cold but sunny. Huge turn out as always. We had lots of interest in the wonderful Scrufts collars, turkish Hamam towels and at last we’ve found something for the boys young and old… miniature steam engine Pop Pop boats, which we demonstrated all day.

Bonker*s Clutterbucks were invited to take part in Treacle Christmas Market which took place today….. a truely scrummy, magical, atmospheric and humbling event. 

The snow was falling heavily at 6 – 8am in Lancashire but miraculously we made it to Macclesfield and set up in a prime spot on Chestergate. Here are some of the sights before our camera started playing up.
