Stone Food & Drink Festival is back this weekend with three full days of food, drink, live music, family fun and, for the first time, a DJ chill-out tent.
The much-loved event returns to Stone’s Westbridge Park from Friday 9th to Sunday 11th May with longer opening hours and well-behaved dogs welcome on site.
Westbridge Park is getting ready to welcome thousands of visitors as the town’s biggest event of the year returns for a three-day celebration of food, drink and entertainment.
Behind the scenes, an army of volunteers has been hard at work preparing the site and supporting logistics. The festival simply wouldn’t happen without them; their passion and commitment play a huge part in making this event a success.
