This September Knutsford will be host to a collection of events as part of Heritage Open Days, international festival of heritage and culture.
Heritage Open Days is England’s largest community led festival of history, involving thousands of local volunteers and organisations. Every year in September it brings people together to celebrate their heritage, community and history. Stories are told, traditions explored, and histories brought to life. It’s your chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences – and it’s all FREE.
Events in Knutsford will run across three days from 6th – 8th September and feature walks, talks and book signings about some well-known and not so well-known Knutsford history.
Planned events include screenings of Knutsford: Tales of War at Curzon, a talk on a brand new Knutsford history book, a tour of the Courthouse and underground cells and even a ghost walk!
Alex Molloy Events Manager at Knutsford Town Council said, “It is so important that we recognise and celebrate the rich and beautiful history of Knutsford. We are very lucky that so many local faces have come together to share their knowledge for this festival – everyone is going to learn something new!”
All events are free however several require booking to make sure we can accommodate numbers. You can view the schedule of events and book spaces at www.knutsfordtowncouncil.gov.uk/heritageopendays. Due to the nature of some of Knutsford’s historic buildings and open spaces, not all events are accessible so please read the event description fully.
