This year's Knutsford Lions Street Fair formed a major part of the Town's Jubilee weekend celebrations. We were very lucky with the weather and it proved to be a busy and very successful event attended by thousands of people over the day. Stallholders were encouraged to take up the red/white/blue theme and the street provided a highly colourful local celebration of the Jubilee - including an abundance of bunting and flags!
We arranged a variety of entertainment - Eckie Thump who entertained the children with balloon modelling, tricks and interactive repartee!, Laura Gregory who alternated parading the street on stilts with fire dance/eating displays, the Redwing group who provided music at the end of the street and roving violinists and flute player.
There were over 40 stallholders with a mixture of colourful trade stalls, local charities or organisations promoting their activities, and a selection of food stalls including a street barbecue and hot indian food. Some of the King Street culinary emporiums also offered some of their specialities out in the street.
Everyone had a very enjoyable day and we are very grateful to all those who supported the event in their multifarious ways.
