The Treacle Market organisers have confirmed the full event calendar for 2026, with the next monthly market set for Sunday, 29 March 2026. This monthly artisan event continues its regular residency in the streets of Macclesfield, Cheshire, following successful events in January and February.

The market features over 150 stalls including local crafts, food, drink, and vintage items. Founded in 2010, the event is typically held on the last Sunday of every month, taking over the Market Place and surrounding cobblestone streets to showcase regional traders.

While the market follows a regular monthly pattern for most of the year, the organisers have made an exception for the final date. The 2026 schedule will conclude with a market on Sunday, 20 December 2026, to ensure it takes place before the festive period, rather than on the final Sunday of the month.

Supported by Macclesfield Town Council, the market serves as a platform for local artisans and small-scale traders. The 2026 dates are intended to help the community plan their visits and continue supporting the local economy throughout the year.
