The Roving Canal Traders Association is bringing its floating market back to Stone over the same weekend as the Stone Food and Drink Festival.

The Stone Floating Market will take place on the Trent and Mersey Canal alongside the M&S Foodhall on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 May 2026.
The market will run from 10am to 5pm on both days, with independent canal traders selling handmade products, art and crafts, home made food and cakes, and other items.
The event is hosted by the Canal & River Trust and gives visitors the chance to meet traders who sell directly from their boats.
The floating market will be taking place while the Stone Food and Drink Festival is also running at Westbridge Park, from Friday 8 to Sunday 10 May, meaning visitors will have another reason to spend time in Stone over the weekend.
