Situated at the end of Ivy Lane in as peaceful a setting as one could wish, the Knockholt Bowling Club has a well kept green and pavilion. The Club was re-formed in 1990, the old club having ceased playing in the 1950's. The new Club was the result of a lot of hard work by a dedicated number of Knockholt and Halstead residents, who spent time and money and a lot of hard work getting the necessary authority to proceed and building the green and pavilion. The Club is a part of the Village Club and all bowling club members are members of the Village Club.
The season stretches from late April till the end of September, with friendly matches played most weekends and Wednesdays and league matches on Thursday and Friday evenings.
Other than league matches, the Club operates a policy of playing mainly mixed matches, all played as triples( three players each team).
As a member, one can also use the green to practice whenever they wish subject to the start times decreed by the Green Liaison Officer and there is no additional charge once the annual fees
are paid. The current fees are:-
Joining fee( once only) £32
Annual Subscription £37.50
Green Fees £45
Of the above, £5 is the fee to be a member of the Village Club, which is mandatory.
All are welcome to apply to join, from teenage to any age (one of our members died recently at the age of 101 and was still playing outdoors at 92 and indoors at 96). If new to the game, we have excellent coaches/instructors, including a National Umpire and instruction can be arranged.
Although anyone can join us, we would welcome more members from Knockholt and Halstead
It is a game well suited to older citizens, giving gentle exercise and a great opportunity to socialise for a few hours every now and then.
There is an Open Day at the green in early May, when all are welcome to discuss with Club officials and try their hand at the game

We are a small group of like-minded people, - all ages and sizes! Our aim is to present to our audiences a mix of entertainment over the year which could include a variety or musical show, a panto, a play or a music hall.
We are very proud of our Kytens who range in age from 8 – 16. They are a talented, lively bunch who love to entertain.
All of our performances are held in Knockholt Village Hall as are our rehearsals.
We always welcome new faces, both to KATS and KYTens, so if you are at all interested in drama or music, or if you have a flair for the ‘technical’ stuff i.e. lights, sound, backstage or if you just fancy meeting some new people and could help in any way we would be very pleased to hear from you.
Please browse our website, we hope you find it interesting. You will see details of our forthcoming productions and events as well as photos of our past productions.

The Knockholt Carnival is one of the largest village carnivals in the South East of England attracting between 7,000 and 10,000 visitors from all parts of the South East.
The next Knockholt Carnival is on Saturday 17 th July 2010.
Apart from a short break during the 1980s the Knockholt Carnival has taken place every other year since it first started in the1950s.
People of all ages come to watch the fantastic themed parade of home made floats, up to a mile long, as it weaves its way through this historic village on the North Downs and which is also the highest in Kent. Each Carnival has its own theme and for 2010 the theme will be ‘Down to Earth’. After the parade people spend the afternoon in Knockholt where there is a traditional country fair with well over 100 stalls and attractions.
The Knockholt Carnival is planned, organised and delivered by the Carnival Committee, made up of local people from Knockholt and its neighbouring villages of Halstead and Cudham. The Committee works all year round (convening soon after each Carnival to plan the event). It also organises other fundraising events in between carnivals.
In recognition of its valuable work throughout the South East , Kent Air Ambulance will be the main beneficiary of Carnival 2010.
For more information on upcoming events visit www.knockholtcarnival.org.uk or email info@knockholtcarnival.co.uk Also, keep an eye out for news of the Carnival in St Katharine's Parish News and in the Knockholt and Cudham section of the Sevenoaks Chronicle.

Knockholt Village Centre Council (KVCC) is a registered charity and is the trustee body responsible for the Village Centre which comprises the Village Hall and associated rooms and facilities. The building as a whole is on land leased from the Knockholt Parish Council and also includes Knockholt Club which leases its part of the premises from KVCC.

Knockholt villagers are lucky enough to have their own areas of woodland - Vavasseur's Wood and Blueberry Wood in Main Road - for picnicking and walking.

A fruitful Apple Tree grows from one minute pip; a Giant Oak from one small acorn; Knockholt Village Tree Society developed from a group of six people who enjoyed trees and had spent many hours working in the woodland in and around Knockholt Village.

The Royal British Legion provides financial, social and emotional support to millions who have served, or are serving, in the Armed Forces and their dependants. Nearly 10.5 million people are eligible for our help – that’s 1-in-6 people. There are 400,000 members – a small number when one thinks about the sacrifice made by our Forces during the World Wars and the 16,000 that have died since, fighting for the freedom we enjoy today.

The Knockholt Branch of the Royal British Legion currently has 32 members whom meet formerly 3 times a year. We lead the 2 Remembrance Services – at the Pound on November 11 th and within St. Katherine’s Church on the nearest Sunday – and then the inevitable A.G.M.

However, we also hold a few social events each year when members and friends get together for a couple of hours to ‘chew the cud’ so to speak! These events are most informal and always end with a keenly ‘watched’ raffle.

Perhaps you support the Legion via standing order through your bank but did you know that this does not make you a member? Membership costs just £11 per year, so why not join us? You don’t have to be ex-forces!
