Insider
Events
The arts and culture
committees injected
extra personality into
the event by setting
up the henna, tattoo
and face paint stalls.
When asked why
they were participat-
ing at Knollfest they
said it was “just for
fun and creativity”
which is a great rea-
son for students to
give up there free
time and very heart-
warming to hear.
Many of the art stu-
dents there also
seemed to unani-
mously agree that
they enjoyed helping
at Knollfest because
it’s “rad” and “cool”.
However, these
weren’t the only
committees at
Knollfest. There was
also a Russ market
set up by the India
expedition students,
Charlie helping to
run the stall stated
that they were raising
money for, quite
clearly, “the Russ
foundation” because
they’re “going on a
trip to India in No-
vember so they are
fundraising for an
orphanage”. The
clothes they were
selling were all sec-
ond hand but in great
condition and the
cakes seemed to be
selling extremely fast.
You can still donate to
the Russ foundation if
you missed the chance
to visit the stall at
Knollfest.
Student opinions were
quite similar. Students
such as Natalie and
Niamh agreed that
Knollfest was a “great
experience” and Natalie
in particular seemed to
feel the music was a fun
source of
“entertainment”. The
bouncy castles were in
constant use and the hill
was covered with stu-
dents sitting with their
friends just listening to
the live bands. Alt-
hough Knollfest had
Laura, Ava and
Kaitlin listening to
the music (top).

“Make it
bigger!” -
Tia Smith
a big attendance there
was some things stu-
dents thought should be
improved. The arts
committee thought
what needed improv-
ing, in contrast to previ-
ous opinion was “the
music”. Since the ma-
jority of Knollfest fea-
tured rock music, the
committee would have
appreciated some
“different genres” may-
be “something chill”.
First year student, Tia
Smith, thought that we
should have “made eve-
rything bigger” and had
“more food”. Due to
the amount of space
there was a Knollfest I
think its is likely that
the reason more stu-
dents didn’t attended
was because Knollfest
was at full capacity .
