KNUTSFORD Pub in the Park organisers are set this month to announce the eagerly-anticipated music line-up for this summer’s event.

The Lambing Shed hosted Tom Kerridge’s Pub in the Park in September, and will again provide the venue for the 2019 celebration of top-class food and drink and music.

Last year’s festival attracted more than 13,000 people, and was hailed a huge success.

This summer’s celebrations are to be held from Friday, June 7 to Sunday, June 9, with the line-up of musicians set to be announced in the next few weeks.

Award-winning Knutsford PR company Firework PR has again been appointed to handle the local launch of the event.

Clare Wall, co-founder and director, Firework PR said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be working with the team at Brand Events again to plan this year’s event.

“The visitors to last year’s Pub in the Park made it clear they wanted it to return to Cheshire in 2019, and the organisers have responded.

“Pub In the Park is a great event, combining great music and top-class food and drink from local providers.

“With this year’s event taking place in June – the official start of festival season – we’re hoping the weather will be kinder to us.”

Cheryl Carroll from organisers Brand Events said: “Knutsford was a new venue for us last year, and it was a huge success.

“Taking a hyper-local approach worked incredibly well, and this year we’re really looking at an even bigger event, working even more closely with the Knutsford community.”

Last year’s event at Knutsford featured artists Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Squeeze, Razorlight, Tom Odell, Melanie C, The Christians and Scouting for Girls, who performed to packed crowds.

In addition there were chef demonstrations from Tom Kerridge, Angela Harnett and Brian Mellor.

Following the success of touring his Pub in the Park festival in 2018,

Tom Kerridge says it will be even bigger and better for 2019, with eight events across the UK.

At each venue there will be Michelin-starred and award-winning pubs and restaurants serving tasting dishes showing their signature style.

Every event will celebrate the best food the country has to offer, combined with great live music, chef demonstrations, top quality shopping and other festival fun.
