Welcome
Congleton Town Hall - have your say!We have a Town Hall to be proud of, it is a focal point and increasingly used for weddings, dances and commercial events. We would like to commission an artist or artists to work with community groups in the Town to interpret the history of the Town Hall to make it more interesting to both visitors and townsfolk alike. This survey is the first stage of an information gathering exercise taking place in July to gauge how worthwhile people feel such a project would be. Please download the survey, save to your computer and email your responses to peteraston@btinternet.com or hand in to the Tourist Information Centre vefore 13th August. Thank you!

WEATHER - 5 day forecastLatest BBC weather forcast for Congleton over the next five days (updated hourly). Click here... Beartown?Once upon a time there was a town that had a dancing bear... but this isn’t a story about an imaginary teddy like Winnie the Pooh, or Paddington.
This is the story of a market town in Cheshire that became famous for its attachment to its resident bear. So much so, that when the bear became old and died just before the town festivities, the money put aside for the new town bible was borrowed to replace him.
This bear has long gone, but the legend lives on in the hearts of Congleton’s people. We still celebrate that imagination and determination to have fun. And why should it stop there? Our town’s a town for choice, a town for friendships, and a town for visiting and revisiting.
