Knutsford Music Festival – Less than a month to go

Monday, 19 July 2021 16:30

There is just under one month to go until the return of Knutsford Music Festival!

After taking a forced break in 2020 the festival returns for its fourth year from 13^th – 15^th August. The festival hosts events over three days at venues across Knutsford, including free events with the fringe festival featuring live music hosted by local businesses.

Mark Radcliffe, Knutsfordian and BBC Radio host, is back to host two nights of sensational folk music on Friday 13^th and Saturday 14^th July at St Johns Church on Church Hill. These nights are headlined by folk stars Blue Rose Code on Friday and The Breath on Saturday, supported by incredible rising talent. Tickets for these events are on sale now via the festival website or in the Knutsford Town Council office on Toft Road.

If you’re looking to enjoy some music in the sunshine, head down to the Moor on Saturday 14^th August from 12-4pm for four hours of live music, refreshments, African drumming workshops and activities for all ages. This event is completely free to attend! Whilst the event is outside, hand sanitiser stations will be available throughout the site and guests are encouraged to socially distance where possible.

The official festival gig guide is now available on the festival website, and physical copies will be distributed through the area from this week. You can grab a copy from the Town Council offices or many of our local businesses from the end of this week, or download a copy by heading to:
