Redesmere Fete

for 6 hours
Siddington Village Hall
Congleton Road Siddington Macclesfield Cheshire What3Words ///front.daredevil.jukebox, SK11 9JR

A major part of life at All Saints is Redesmere Fete, which attracts hundreds of people.
One of the best known and picturesque village events in the region, the fete features the crowning of the Water Lily Queen, so called because she is rowed across Redesmere Lake which was at one time covered by water lilies.
The Queen is then crowned by the King of Redesmere on the lake shore before the start of a traditional family-oriented fete at the Village Hall with attractions for all the family. The festivities continue into the evening.

St James & St Paul, Marton

Welcome to the parish church of St James and St Paul in Marton, near Macclesfield, in Cheshire.

We are part of the Church of England in the Diocese of Chester, serving the small (but perfectly formed) village of Marton, a few miles north of Congleton. Our church building is (we think) the oldest of its kind still in use in Europe, and we are rather fond of it.

It was founded in 1343, and much of what was built then is still here. We hope that both the building and the worshipping community will be here for another few centuries at least.

For any enquiries, please use the "Get in Touch" page.

For details of our services, see the Services and events page.
