Check on Knowle and Dorridge Lions for the dates of this year's event, how to enter and details of road closures.
Summer
High Street Celebrations
For the last few years, we've invited the community to the heart of Knowle to enjoy a day of community spirit. We've had jubilee celebrations, Coronation Celebrations, Midsummer Celebrations, and most recently, VE80 - commemorating the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe.
Typically including entertainment, community stalls, artisan traders and games, along with street food, it's a day to enjoy our village, spend time with friends and to bump into people you know.
Knowle Party in the Park
This revitalised event is one to remember! Knowle Party in the Park, brought to you by Solihull Summer Fest, is a gloriously vibrant day celebrating music and community spirit.
This family friendly event, located in the beautiful Knowle Park, features a diverse line-up of renowned and emerging artists along with a selection of local food and drink vendors. For more information, and to purchase tickets, visit Knowle Party in the Park
Artisan Market
Typically taking place on the second Saturday in September, we have hosted an artisan market on Station Road, Knowle since 2023.
The market offers a wide range of products, crafts & food from local makers and creators as well as stall holders from slightly further afield. It's free to attend, just come along and have a browse.
Heritage Open Days
Heritage Open Days in September brings together Knowle Society, Knowle History Society, Knowle Church, Visit Knowle and other organisations to celebrate and share Knowle’s heritage.
Typically taking place on on the second Saturday in September 13th, there's heritage exhibitions, trails and sometimes guided walks. It's a day to explore the rich stories behind our village, the buildings, the people and the community in Knowle.
Dorridge Day
Hosted by Knowle and Dorridge Round Table is a truly community event that offers a range of attractions, activities and stalls for the local community to enjoy. Traditionally taking place in September, follow Knowle and Dorridge Round Table to be the first to hear the date for this year's event.

Knowle village and many of its community groups turn out to mark Remembrance Day with laying of wreaths the week before Remembrance Sunday, and the Parade on Remembrance Sunday.

One of the favourite events of the year is the countdown to switching on the Christmas Lights. Traditionally held on the last Wednesday in November, Father Christmas joins Knowle Parish Church to lead the community countdown to the lights switching on.
Late Night Shopping Night
The late night shopping event is an evening of nibbles, drinks, special offers and shopping with many of our independent businesses. It’s always a popular evening.
