The Black Knights will once again take on Saint George as they battle in Stone’s Market Square on Saturday, the 20th of April.
Once again, Stone Town Council, will be hosting a free Saint George’s Day family event in Stone’s town cetnre.
The event will start with a parade down the High Street to Market Square at 12:30pm, led by Saint George, which children are invited to join. Children wishing to join the parade with the knights are asked to meet at 12:20pm around the back of the Stone Town Council building on Station Road.
After the parade, the Black Knights will fight Saint George and his men in front of the assembled crowd in the market square. This is always a really well-attended event, so get there early for front-row spots!
There will be an opportunity to experience the weapons and talk to the knights about them, and a children’s medieval fancy dress competition themed on knights, damsels and dragons, with a £25 gift voucher prize for the best fancy dress.
In addition to the event there will also be the usual town market at the upper end of the High Street.
Councillor Jill Hood, Chairman of the Council’s Tourism and Town Promotion Sub-Committee, said
“Cheer for Saint George as he battles for England against the Black Knights in this popular event in the Market Square, and bring your children dressed as knights, damsels or dragons to get into the spirit of the event and be in with the chance to win a £25 gift voucher.”
