👓 LOST & FOUND… BUT WE’RE NOT SURE WHO THEY BELONG TO! 😂

We’ve had TWO pairs of prescription glasses left behind at The Silk Trader, and so far nobody has come looking for them!

👓 Pair 1: Black frames/lenses
👓 Pair 2: Hugo Boss glasses with a rather snazzy red glasses cord ❤️

If you’ve suddenly realised you’ve been squinting at your phone for the last few days… these could be yours! 😂

Give us a message or pop into The Trader and tell us what you’ve lost. We’ll happily reunite you with your long-lost eyesight! 👀🤣

Owners, please come forward! 👓🍻

Everyone is welcome, and we hope to see you there.

❤️ In Memory of Our Dearly Missed Friend Jim ❤️

On Sunday 4th October, we’ll be holding a small gathering at The Silk Trader to remember our dear friend Jim and raise a glass in his memory. 🥂

A few of Jim’s friends will be joining us, and everyone is welcome to pop in between 2pm and 6pm to share a drink, a memory, or simply take a moment to remember a much-loved friend.

There’s no formality — just a chance to come together, have a drink and remember Jim for all the good times and memories he gave us. ❤️

🎉🍺 What a day! 🍺🎉

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday to celebrate Robinsons’ 130th birthday and enjoyed one of our amazing glasses of Unicorn for just £1.30! 🦄🍺

If it’s good enough for Robinsons, it’s even good enough for the MP! 😉😂

Thank you all for coming along, celebrating with us and making it such a brilliant day.

Here’s to another year! 🍻🎉

🍺 Cheers to 130 years of Unicorn! 🦄

A proper birthday celebration today, as Robinsons’ famous Unicorn Best Bitter turns 130! With so many Robinsons pubs in and around Macclesfield, Unicorn has been part of local pub life for generations.

And today, participating Robinsons pubs are offering pints of Unicorn for just £1.30. 🍻

Now that’s a birthday worth raising a glass to! 🎉
