Spoken word will feature the Poet Laureate Simon Armitage and in a welcome return The History wardrobe will be back asking “What Were We Thinking?! The 1970s Show”.

“This will give local students a chance to experience Physical Theatre and Devising which they can use to develop their own future performances.

“There is a variety of street entertainers: some old favourites and some new to FEVA.”

The Lions Beer festival is back, as is Picnic in the Park.

“None of this would be possible without our sponsors Knaresborough Town Council, Knaresborough Lions and, new this year, Piccadilly Motors,” added Gwen.
