In the 10 years that Knipfest has been entertaining and donating money to Cancer Research and Local Hospices, we have raised over £160,000!!
Unfortunately, due to Coronavirus and the lockdown, we have had to cancel the 2020 event. Rather than sit back and take it, we have decided to start organising next year’s festival which will be on the 3rd of July 2021.
In the meantime, large charities like Cancer Research, are losing out pretty badly. We have set up a giving page to channel any donations we receive straight to Cancer Research.
Every year Knipfest brings you the best in entertainment, whether it’s a band that’s toured the UK, or one of your local favourites.
We’ve got it!
Rock tribute covering Guns ‘n Roses, Heart, Europe, Queen, Starship, plus many many more!
A tribute to one of, if not THE biggest live touring rock groups of modern day…THE KILLERS.
From the deepest, darkest jungles of Leicestershire, The Whiskey Rebellion are a band like no other.
The Extones are a six piece band playing ROCK & POP from the sixties through to the present day

When Julie was diagnosed with cancer, her husband John and his friends began efforts to raise money to support Cancer Research.
‘We are the world’s largest charity dedicated to saving lives through research.
Our vision is to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.
We want survival in the UK to be among the best in the world. We’re focusing our efforts in four key areas – working to help prevent cancer, diagnose it earlier, develop new treatments and optimise current treatments by personalising them and making them even more effective.’
‘Dove Cottage is a day care hospice, and guests usually come to us for one day each week.
We do our very best to make our hospices a home away from home. Both of our hospices are set in beautiful countryside with lovely lounges, dining rooms, and places where our guests can enjoy games, crafts and wellbeing activities.’
‘St Barnabas Hospice is the leading charity in Lincolnshire providing palliative and end-of-life care to adults living with a life-limiting or terminal illness.
Our Vision is a world where dying with dignity, compassion and having choices is a fundamental part of a life.
Our Mission is to ensure all individuals facing the end of their life in Lincolnshire receive dignified, compassionate care when they require it and where they ask for it.’
