Knipfest 2024 returns to Woodnook near Grantham




There was another great turnout at an annual charity fundraiser at the weekend.

Knipfest returned to Woodnook, near Grantham, on Saturday (July 6) to raise money for Cancer Research, St Barnabas Hospice and Dove Hospice.

The event, held in memory of Julie Copley who died of cancer in 2010, saw the day filled with musical acts, family entertainment and good weather.

“We had screens with the football on as well. We had some great acts on and it was a really nice vibe.
