Maccbeerfest

Maccbeerfest Macclesfield Beer Festival returns May 8–9 2026 for our 30th Anniversary. 140 beers, 70 ciders, gin & rum bar, quality food and amazing entertainment.

Join us for Macclesfield’s best beer festival, two great days drinking for charity. Since we first started in 1995 we have served over 240,000 beers and raised over £225,000 for local charities. This has been used to…

+ Build new play areas for special needs children

+ Buy an interactive display for children with learning disabilities

+ Help give support to carers

+ Purchase new mini-buses



+ Build new accomodation for adults with learning difficulties

+ Purchase medical equipment

+ More importantly, we have helped local charities carry on doing all the important and dedicated work that they do. We intend to carry on doing this with all future beer festivals

The tent has gone but the memories will live forever with us all.

Another amazing year for Macc Beer Fest. We saw it and it was epic!

Did you attend? Share your pics and let us know what was your highlight.

Each event we held was a huge success. Our Friday night started with for a huge warm up to the weekend. We then had a massive sing along with tracks from which blew the roof off, it was an absolute joy to be part of. We were then left wanting more and were followed up with the people’s favourite who kept the crowd moving. A proper great night!

Our Saturday day event was another huge success, many people from in and out of Macclesfield bringing families and not letting the weather discourage them. We had markets, family entertainment and food stalls on offer along with amazing music from , Karamba, & Bash Bailey and Friends

And then Saturday night.... Oh what a night...
You all flooded into the marquee with a thirst for not only our offerings but another taste of Snowdrop but then following on with the acoustic sounds of who graced us with a magnificent performance...
and then the unbelievably professional Toploader who absolutely entertained everyone with their classic's and also great new tracks which made our own Macc Beer Fest volunteers stop to enjoy the entertainment.

This would have not been possible with without our local 'Platinum'
, , and also our volunteers and committee members.

You can still make a difference to our local charities by donating and supporting them even after Macc Beer Fest &

Photos from the event will be available on the website this week.

How do I buy beers at the festival?

What does a £15 drinks token get me?
Each token is split into 3 “pints” a pint split into 6 sections, so you can get beer by the third, half, or pint. Wine, Gin and other drinks will have their own token values advertised at the festival.

I got my ticket including a token, where do I get that token?
