A little shout out for our friends at St Katharine’s School Knockholt, who will be welcoming the circus for a fundraising event on Sunday 20th May. A fun-packed comedy show for all the family Happy’s Circus provides great entertainment. There will also be a BBQ, Games, Rides and Face Painting. Doors open 12 noon, seats at 1.30pm for a 2pm start. Do go along and support our local school. Tickets cost £8 each or £28 for a family of four (babies go free) and are available from Knockholt and Halstead village shops or direct from the school. For enquiries call 07787 550 204.

We’d love to see you walking, rolling, riding or sliding through the streets of Knockholt as part of our carnival parade. The parade is a huge part of the day, and every carnival is remembered by the amazing ideas and craftwork that’s on display. We are taking bookings for this year’s parade – make sure you reserve your theme by sending back a Booking Form today!
Happy New (Carnival) Year!
Welcome to 2018 – we know it’s going to be fabulous, because it’s a carnival year!
If your new year’s resolution is to be more involved with the village community, we have ideal opportunities for you. We need people to help us run events, act as road marshals, sell tickets, and even put up posters. Please get in touch with Carole at chair@knockholtcarnival.org.uk to discuss how you can help!
Fireworks tickets being printed!
Printing is only part – we have to number them, then distribute them, and then you have to buy them. Hopefully by the end of this week you’ll be able to get them from:
- The Harrow
- The Three Horseshoes
- Knockholt Village Stores
- Hancock’s in Halstead
As ever you save money by buying in advance!
