Selene

Theatre production heading to Knutsford Market Hall

Internationally award-winning experts in storytelling, Wright&Grainger, are heading to Knutsford this summer following a successful tour in Australia, where they received five-star reviews at Fringe World Festival in Perth.

Selene tells the story of the Goddess and personification of the moon, known for her beauty and radiant glow – and what happens when she acknowledges the dark side of herself.

The production is being held at Knutsford Market Hall on Friday 26th June from 7:30pm.

Join Wright&Grainger as they combine Greek Mythology with an epic soundtrack, to turn classical tales to modern myths.

Wright&Grainger said “SELENE is a radical exploding of an ancient myth. It’s about how we grow up living defined by our bodies, and about what happens when that changes.  It’s a story about what we’re stuck in the orbit of. It’s a story about the light sides of us and the dark sides of us and it’s about the stuff inside us. All the wild stuff inside of us.”

The production is being hosted by Knutsford Town Council in partnership with Cheshire Rural Touring Arts. The show is suitable for ages 14+ and there will be a bar available for refreshment.

Tickets are £14 and available at www.knutsfordtowncouncil.gov.uk/selene

Bunny Hop Brings Easter Buzz to Knutsford Town Centre

Knutsford Town Centre welcomed families on Saturday 4th April as the annual Bunny Hop returned for an afternoon of Easter Fun.

The Easter-themed trail, organised by Knutsford Town Council, invited families to explore the town centre by searching for hidden bunnies displayed in shop windows. Each bunny featured a letter, with participants collecting them on entry forms to complete the trail and enter a prize draw.

This year’s Peter Rabbit & Friends theme proved popular, with many families dressing up and taking part in the day’s activities. Alongside the trail, visitors enjoyed a range of entertainment including games and activities at the Market Hall on Silk Mill Street and Easter-themed displays across the town.

The Easter Bonnet Competition was a highlight of the day, with a fantastic range of entries. Knutsford Town Council would like to thank Julia from Knutsford Old Sweet Shoppe and the Town Mayor Cllr Bryan Hartley for judging the competition. Congratulations to the three winners and to everyone that took part with their very creative Easter Bonnets.

The event was kindly sponsored by Little Waitrose, Clare & Illingworth Optometrists, Piccolino, and Linden Stores whose support enabled the event to be delivered for the community.

Caroline Haynes, Events Officer at Knutsford Town Council, said: 

“It was fantastic to see so many families out enjoying the Bunny Hop and exploring the town centre. The support from our local businesses and the effort people put into taking part really made the day special.”
