A longstanding tradition will help bring the Congleton community together.

Residents, community groups, charities and local organisations are invited to take part in the Mayor's Civic Service and Parade.

Taking place on Sunday (June 22), this event will be held to welcome the newly elected mayor, councillor Robert Brittain.

He said: "The Civic Service and Parade is a wonderful opportunity to bring the people of Congleton together in recognition of our shared values and commitment to community.

"I look forward to welcoming everyone and celebrating the spirit that makes this town so special."

The parade will assemble at the rear of Congleton Town Hall, departing at 2.45pm.

Led by Rode Hall Silver Band, the parade will make its way to St Peter's Church on Chapel Street for the Civic Service, which begins at 3pm.

All are welcome to take part in the parade or, if preferred, go directly to the church for the service.

Residents are encouraged to turn out along the parade route and give participants a wave as they pass by.

Following the service, a reception will be held at the Town Hall for those who took part in the proceedings, offering an opportunity to reflect and connect with others involved in the day's events.

Community groups, uniformed organisations, charities, and associations are encouraged to take part and bring flags and banners to display during the parade.

To assist with planning, attendees are kindly asked to confirm their participation by Friday (June 13), along with an approximate number of attendees. RSVP to [email protected].
