Folk and Boat Festival
0709 239 0501
Visit during the Folk and Boat weekend, usually the third weekend in June. The whole town explodes with people, events and music. Small feilds in the center of town have stalls on them, offering locally brewed beers and srumpies, as well as the main music tent. The pubs along the side of the canal are usually packed and offer live music too. The Middlewich Folk and Boat festival is now firmly established on the folk circuit and it is estimated that 30,000 people visit the town during the festival weekend, along with 400 boats.
It is also worth a visit to the "Temptations" shop along the high street, a very unique shop which is deceptively large once you enter the building.
