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. We have been here before so it is tried and tested.

WHEN? Sunday 27th October 2024. Depart 9.15am  Return 5ish. Price: £38 includes 2 course Sunday Lunch followed by tea/coffee. Seats onwill be on sale at our table on Tues.3rd September 2024.

The towpath was wide with smooth, sandy coloured, compacted gravel Continue reading →

Nine Strollers took the train to Liverpool Central to catch the 10:30 Ellesmere Port train to Hooton, We arrived on the Wirral Line platform at 10:15 to see that the train had been cancelled. No matter, we can catch the Chester train and the 10:15 to Chester was there in front of us. A Merseyrail official, however told us, “It’s gone. You can’t get on it.” Annoying when you can see it. Frustrated, we had to wait Continue reading →

Due to expected demonstrations in and around Pierhead this weekend, the lovely Liverpool Arts Fair, which we have visited many times, has informed me they have  had to close two days early, so they will miss two days of trading.  It will be a sad loss to our cities cultural heritage especially as this only the second year of the show returning after Covid.              Maureen
