The Macclesfield Express is giving away a family ticket for the biggest family event Barnaby has ever seen.

‘La Lune’ is an interactive experience which will run throughout the Barnaby Festival, with a number of events and workshops.

The Astronomer’s Story, which has been written specifically for Barnaby, is an immersive theatrical adventure at the centre of the experience, and the Express has a family ticket to give away.

The story follows the story of an astronomer who brings the stars and the moon down to earth but needs the help of Macclesfield residents and visitors to send them back into the sky.

Christ Church, which has become a popular venue for events, will be transformed into the astronomer’s secret laboratory with a number of performances throughout the day, and children will be given a mission as the astronomer’s assistant.

The 45 minute family theatrical adventure has performances at 10am, 11.30am, 2pm, 3.30pm, 5pm and 6.30pm on both dates and is suitable for children aged four and older. A limited number of early bird tickets for local residents are £6 with babes in arms free.

As part of the ongoing adventure, children at the Treacle Market were invited to help the astronomer’s assistant find some lost stars.

And after scouring the stalls it was four-year-old Dorrie and seven-year-old Jasper who found the missing stars, earning themselves a pair of tickets for The Astronomer’s Tale, a theatrical performance written for the festival.

Tickets are still available for the 45-minute family theatre shows, which take over the weekend on June 18 and 19.
