Volunteers from Knutsford Allotment Society at a stall in a church in 2021

As university students prepare to scout out their Freshers Fair, a community freshers fair is coming to Knutsford on Saturday 10th September.

ReFresh Knutsford is organised by Knutsford Town Council and brings together a range of community organisations, charities, clubs and societies to help introduce (or refresh) the community on what it has on the doorstep.

Over 30 groups are coming together to meet potential new volunteers, service users and the wider community. Groups booked to attend cover a range of interests and topics including:

  • Knutsford Floral Design Club
  • Thai Chi Classes
  • Friends of the Moor
  • Knutsford Skatepark
  • Knutsford Community Transport Association
  • Jodrell District Girl guides
  • Canute Badminton Club

“This event is all about connecting our community” said Town Clerk, Adam Keppel-Green.

“Whether you are interested in trying out bellringing, want to get involved in the community orchard or learn what the Rotary and Lions do for the town this is a chance to make those connections – you never know what impact your interaction might have on the wider community or whether you’ll discover your new hobby.”

Refresh Knutsford takes place in Knutsford Methodist Church and St John’s Church from 1pm to 3pm.
