Head Out Not Home

Three evenings of alfresco dining will take place in Knutsford on 10th, 11th and 18th September.

A section of King Street will be closed to traffic from 5.30pm to 11pm on 10^th and 11^th September

and the, 18^th September will see Minshull Street (only) closed to allow restaurants, bars, and cafes to place tables and chairs on the roads for alfresco dining. 

Sandra Curties, Town Centre and Marketing Officer said, “The past 18 months have been incredibly hard for everyone, especially our hospitality sector. These three evening closures will go some way to provide additional space to venues for their customers and the community to enjoy the amazing food and drink Knutsford offers”.

The King Street, road closure takes place on 10^th and 11^th September from 5.30pm to 11pm and covers the following areas:

Sandra Curties, added, “It must be stressed these two weekends are trials, and we will be evaluating feedback from those taking part, residents affected and those venues outside the road closures.  We would like to see all our hospitality venues busy during these weekends and any shops wishing to stay open a little later will add to the continental atmosphere”.

Patrons are urged to contact their chosen venue direct to see whether they need to book a space in advance.  If the evenings are cancelled due to adverse weather, the cancellation will be announced across both Knutsford Town Council’s and the participating venues social media platforms.
