Happy New Year!

We hope you all have an exciting 2015 planned.  We’ll be doing our best to help you out!

The big event this year will be Knockstock, the second major music festival in Knockholt which promises to be bigger and better than its 2013 precursor.  On top of that we are planning an event in February and more events later in the year.  Let us know what you’d like to see us do – a repeat of the beer festival, coffee mornings, or something else? Leave us a comment with your ideas, we’re listening!

Clean up camaraderie!

Here’s a picture of volunteers and committee members cleaning the field on Sunday morning, ready for its usual pony inhabitants to return home. Fencing dismantled, bonfire snuffed out and remnants removed, and litter collected in “police search formation” all whilst having a good chat and a giggle along the way, despite the threatening rain.

Firework clean-up

Fireworks over for another year …

This year’s display was more spectacular than ever, and we were extremely lucky with the weather meaning it was a bright cloudless moonlit night which was unseasonably warm!

If you have any photos from the night that you would like to see on this site, please contact  web@knockholtcarnival.org.uk. If you have any comments or feedback please let us know so we can make next year’s firework display better than ever!

We want your photos!

If you have any photos from events we’ve held in the past – Fireworks, Carnival, even dinner dances – we’d love to see them. We are hoping to put together galleries for more old events, so please either leave a comment here or contact us by email at web@knockholtcarnival.org.uk.

We have just published some archive pages for previous carnivals, and there will be more to come over the next few weeks!
