Repair Cafe
Waste not, want not!
If you've got an appliance, ornament or other item broken in your house: DON'T CHUCK IT IN THE BIN.
Why not see if it can be repaired?
A passionate, diverse range of experts can help mend things at Congleton Repair Cafe.
This eco-initiative is a FREE event and will take place on Saturday from 10am to 2pm. Just drop in.
Make sure you enjoy The Old Saw Mill's delicious food and drink while you're there.
Pig Race
Rotary-Congleton has organised another hysterical night of Pig Races at West Road's New Life Church on Saturday, 25th February.
Teams of six take it in turns to jockey their pigs home to the squeals of delight of the onlookers, who bet on the winning porkers. Team players soon learn that it takes skill to coax their piggies to the winning line. Heats held during the evening determine the overall winner.
Tickets are £12.50, and include a Pie and Peas supper. Rotary has organised a Tote, where bets can be placed for £1. It's cash only, so Rotary says, to only bring as much as you can afford to gamble with. There is no bar, so the audience can bring alcoholic or soft drinks. As last year, Rotary can guarantee that no pigs will come to any harm whatsoever during the course of the evening!
Tickets are available from the Congleton Information Centre at the Town Hall on High Street, or by asking someone you know from Congleton Rotary. All money raised goes to support Rotary's work in the community.
Turn up for 7pm.
Roman Exhibit
Romans and Cheshire are two things you probably never think about together.
But Congleton Museum on Market Square has curated an exhibit of just as such, and it has been going on all week.
It will culminate with the final exhibit on this for all ages this Saturday from 10:30am to 4:15pm. Just turn up.
Learn all about what Romans ate, how they built roads, what they wore and much more. There's even a chance to dress up as a Roman too!
And the town will be buzzing for this on Saturday daytime, as just round the corner there is...
Makers Market
It is the last Maker's Market before Mother's Day!
Same time, same place.
Check out the line-up above.
If you want to keep the market festivities going, this Treacle Market will be on in nearby Macclesfield the following day.
