Grand Spring Sale at Macclesfield Silk Museum

Following the overwhelming success of last year’s inaugural plant sale, The Silk Museum is delighted to announce an expanded two-day fundraising event this weekend.

On Friday 8th and Saturday 9th May, the museum opens its doors for a Grand Spring Sale featuring locally grown plants, second-hand and specialist books, and unique fabrics and textiles.

The event will take place from 10am to 3pm when visitors will be invited to explore a diverse range of items staged across the museum’s garden, shop, and galleries.

Retail Manager Tracy Lashford-Jones said:

“This is a great opportunity to support your local Museum while picking up something truly unique for your home, garden, or next creative project.”

Expect to find:

PLANTS: A vibrant selection of locally grown shrubs, early-season perennials, and colourful bedding plants, perfect for refreshing spring gardens.

BOOKS: A unique opportunity to browse second-hand books from the Silk Museum’s own collection. This includes a specialist mix of silk industry and local history titles.

FABRIC: An assortment of fabrics and textile pieces.

Museum entry remains FREE for all visitors during sale hours, offering a chance to explore Macclesfield’s rich industrial textile history while browsing for bargains!

All proceeds from the sale go directly toward supporting the museum’s ongoing conservation work and public programming.

The Silk Museum is part of The Silk Heritage Trust, an independent charity working to protect, share, and celebrate Macclesfield’s pioneering heritage, for the benefit of all.
