We will be visiting the bustling, popular Artisan Treacle Market  which is held in the ancient town of Macclesfield, home to the former Silk Trade. Held monthly, people come from all over searching for the unusual and bargains. There are over 150 stalls to  browse selling just about everything you would want to buy. Ranging from  vintage, arts and crafts, food, household, furnishings and much much more. This maybe a good time to start looking for Christmas gifts. There is plenty of choice for coffee and time to explore this lovely Town. Then we will be off  to the 4* Mere Court Hotel, Knutsford which is set in its’ own grounds. Widely respected as a Wedding/Conference Venue and as a lovely Hotel with a Restaurant, which has a fine reputation for good food. Here we will have a 2 course Sunday Lunch followed by tea/coffee.
