Christmas Lights Switch-on
The Christmas Lights Switch-on and Grand Lantern Parade is part of Congleton’s annual Christmas event heralding the start of the festive season. The main event is organised by Congleton Town Council with support from CCP.
Congleton Play-day
Every summer, CCP hosts a Play Day in the Pedestrian Area from 10am-2pm. The day is based on the National Play Day which is taking place all over the country in August and is a celebration of children’s right to play, highlighting the importance of play and fun in children’s lives.
Food and Drink Festival
Congleton’s popular Food and Drink Festival started in 2009 with just 40 stalls. Now there are over 100. It is held annually on the second Sunday in June and brings 20,000+ visitors to our town.

Featured Event
Celebrate the Green Island Fiesta with Us
Dear Friends,
The Green Island Fiesta is almost here, and we want to invite you to this brand new event on September 8th. Celebrate the rich history and community spirit of this special area of Congleton, with kids fair rides, art, food, drink, conversation and reminiscence.
Where is Green Island?
Green Island is the area centred around Spragg Street, between Willow Street, Bromley Road, and Brunswick Street. It was once one of Congleton’s major industrial centres, known for its textile mills and workers’ houses, including the notorious Gibraltar Rocks.
Help Us Preserve Our History
Do you have memories of Green Island? Maybe you lived there or heard stories from your family. We’d love to hear them from you. As part of the Fiesta, we are collecting oral histories and photographs of Green Island. Your stories and pictures are valuable memories, and we want to keep them safe for future generations.
Share Your Stories
Congleton museum manager, Anna Maluk, will be available on the day to chat and record your memories. If you prefer not to speak, you can also bring along old photographs. These will help us show the history of Green Island to everyone who visits the museum.
Join Our Heritage Walk
The Museum are also hosting a heritage walk through Green Island. Discover the area’s historical spots and learn more about Congleton’s past.
Date: 8th September
Cost: £5 per adult (children 15 and under go free)
No pre-booking needed: Pay on the day
We look forward to celebrating with you!
