Congleton 750 Celebration

It’s not long now until Congleton comes together to celebrate its 750th birthday!

A full calendar of events is shaping up for 2022 to mark the 750^th anniversary of the town gaining its charter. Granted by Henry de Lacy in 1272, the charter enabled Congleton to hold fairs and markets and elect a mayor and ale taster!

This is a great chance to bring the people of Congleton together to celebrate our town, its history and all the many things that are special about Congleton. It will hopefully offer an opportunity for the town to come back together after months of social distancing and cancelled events. 

Next year, the celebrations will open with a real medieval feel, visit the council's dedicated 750 webpage to see the proposed activities: Congleton 750 Celebration - Congleton Town Council (congleton-tc.gov.uk)

Congleton Town Council are keen to hear from more local groups, organisations, businesses, schools and residents who are interested in adding an event to the programme. Email: info@congletontowncouncil.co.uk or call: 01260 270350.
