Britain In Bloom Flower display

Britain In Bloom

In 2022 we’re going for gold!

We first entered the Britain in Bloom competition in 2018, winning a silver medal, which was great. In 2019 we won a silver gilt medal in the small city category, which was even better. In 2022 we’re going for gold!

Macclesfield Town Council organises the floral displays in the town, with particular focus on the gateway highways to the town centre and the town centre itself (these are the busiest areas). We have over 100 lamp post-mounted baskets, around 24 3-tier planters, a dozen or so large square planters and around 75 barrier planters. As well as this, there are the roundabouts and some small planting beds around the town.

Over the past couple of years, we have been trying to engage businesses more and encourage them to put out their own displays, and so far we have traders on Chestergate and Church Street making great displays. As well as this, some residents have got together to improve their streets, like Water Street (just near Churchill Way car park).
