2009 Knuston Hall Open Day

The Knuston Hall Open Day, held for the first time on August Bank Holiday Monday, was a resounding success and looks to become an Annual Event.

Over 700 people came on the day - and had great fun.

They listened to the Hand Bell Ringers, and the Saxophone Group, watched the Flea Circus,
and eat their fill at the Hog Roast, and the 'Pudding Club'.

There was a Children's Circus where they had a go at Plate Twirling and Juggling.
They also enjoyed themselves with the Rare Bread Animals
( I am not so sure that the animals enjoyed it! They looked rather nervous, certainly to start with)
