The Mural and Courtyard

Our courtyard is home to the iconic Ian Curtis mural, a powerful tribute that draws visitors from all over the world. Whether you’re a lifelong Joy Division fan or just curious about Macclesfield’s music legacy, it’s a must-see.

The mural is part of the official Manchester Music Tours Macclesfield route, and fans regulrly stop by to pay tribute, snap photos, and take in the atmosphere. It’s also a great place to chill, grab a coffee or a beer, soak up the vibe, and spend some time in this unique outdoor space.

Check out some of our visitors below and if you’re passing through, come and have a look at the mural.
