Knutsford’s highly anticipated annual alfresco dining programme is set to return on Sunday 14th June, transforming the town centre into a vibrant outdoor social hub.
The following venues are participating in the first event of the season:–
- Gusto
- Rose & Crown
- Morgan Edwards Fine Wines and Spirits
- Mowgli
- Six Knutsford
- Smoke Knutsford
- Smokehouse & Cellar
- Piccolinos
- Patrick’s Irish Bar
- Wallop
Food and drink enthusiasts can also look forward to two subsequent alfresco dates later in the summer, Sunday 16th August (which will run alongside the second annual Paint Knutsford event) and Sunday 13th September.
To expand the outdoor experience this year, Six Knutsford and Smoke Knutsford will be utilising several parking bays on Silk Mill Street to create additional outdoor seating.
Andy Vo, manager of the Smokehouse and Cellar said, “Al Fresco dining has become an established feature in Knutsford’s Summer social scene. It provides an outdoor festival atmosphere for diners and drinkers alike. Please join us in hoping the weather plays ball and everyone can enjoy the day.”
Caroline Haynes, Events Manager at Knutsford Town Council said, “It is lovely to see so many venues taking part in alfresco dining. These events are a lovely way to spend a Sunday with family and friends and of course you can always combine it with a Sunday walk and some retail therapy.”
