The event is scheduled for Thursday 15th April 6.30pm, and the Mayor is looking forward to the auction and hopes the bidders share her excitement at this unusual event that reflects the times we live in but also the kindness in our community.

A Macclesfield Town Council spokesperson said “Normally the Mayor would attend and host lots of events throughout their term, but this year has been very difficult. We think the auction is a great way of showcasing the best that Macclesfield has to offer, whilst also achieving the Mayor’s target of raising funds for two incredible local charities. We encourage everyone to check out the catalogue and have a bid if they can.”
