Sandra Curties, Knutsford Town Council’s town centre and marketing officer, said, “We hope to see lots of people shopping locally on 31st July, discovering the range of products you can buy in our town – from candles to fire guards to houseplants and lightbulbs as well as listening to some tunes and picking up a goody bag.”

Knutsford Beats choir director Diane Healy said: “This will be our first town centre performance since 2019 and what a lovely way to kick off what will hopefully be the first of many events.
