Now open in the between Floors Gallery at the Silk Museum is a new exhibition featuring the work of local artist Charles Tunnicliffe:
Charles Tunnicliffe: A Cheshire Countryman
Charles Frederick Tunnicliffe (1901-1979) was Britain’s foremost 20th-century wildlife artist, renowned for his decorative watercolours of birds.
Born in Langley, Macclesfield, he lived and worked on the family farm until he was 19 years old. He studied at the Macclesfield School of Art (the building which now houses The Silk Museum on Park Lane) before receiving a scholarship to the Royal College of Art in London.
This exhibition explores both his well-observed images of rural Macclesfield in the early 20th century and his later commercial successes – most notably his illustrations for Henry Williamson’s 1932 edition of Tarka the Otter.
Tunnicliffe’s wife Winifred – whom he met whilst studying at the Royal College of Art – was also an artist, and you can see an example of one of her carved bookcases and a ceramic polar bear at the top of the stairs.
Open: Monday-Saturday, from 10am-4pm

Bollington Festival Players Present Sinbad the Sailor from 4th to 12th January 2019
“Sinbad returns from life at sea ready to settle on dry land. That is at least until Evilena frames him for stealing the Persian Pearl of Peace. Sure that Sinbad did no wrong, his friend Prince Said takes his place in jail so Sinbad can try and find the pearl and return it to the people of Constantinople.
Along the way he falls for the Princess, who although promised to the Prince wants some adventure in her life and stows away on Sinbad‘s ship. With help from Tinbad the Tailor, Norma Snickers and her daughter Sally and guided along the way by Fortuna and show stopping songs, Sinbad sets out to put everything straight and save the day. The only people who stand in his way are Evilena and her sidekick the Old Man of the Sea.
Will Sinbad succeed….come along and find out!
