The popular Knipfest music festival, held near Grantham, is reporting successful ticket sales in the hundreds.

The event, to be held on August 7, raises money for charities in honour of Julie Copley, who sadly died of breast cancer in 2010 aged 41.

Held at Woodnook, where Kesteven Rugby Football Club is based, Knipfest 2021 has already sold more than 300 tickets.

Organisers have begun releasing details of the line up of acts on the Knipfest Facebook site.

They include The Element, Hound Dogs, Crazy Ape, That 80s Rockshow, The Whiskey Rebellion, and Naturally Sourced.

As Nub News previously reported, the much-loved Knipfest was cancelled last year due to the pandemic.

The charity fundraiser has grown to attract 2000 people a year and has over the years raised £160,000 for cancer research and local hospices.

The last event in 2019 raised more than £25,000.
