Stone Carnival Week will return this summer with more than a week of events across the town, leading up to the main parade and carnival weekend.
The 2026 programme runs from Saturday 30 May to Sunday 7 June, with activities planned at Stone Old Alleynians, Stone High Street, The Crown Wharf, St Dominic’s Social Club, Stone town centre and Westbridge Park.
A week of events across Stone
The programme begins with Stone Carnival’s five a side tournament at Stone Old Alleynians on Saturday 30 May and Sunday 31 May.
Spectators are welcome, with the tournament taking place at the club on Oulton Road from 9am to 2pm. There will also be medals, a tombola and prizes on site.
St Dominic’s Social Club will host an Elvis tribute evening on Saturday 30 May, with a raffle entry included in the ticket and a £50 cash prize to be won.
One change to the printed programme is that the tractor run, which had been listed for Sunday 31 May, has been cancelled.
From bikes to treasure hunting
Two Wheel Tuesday returns to Stone High Street on Tuesday 2 June, bringing motorbikes into the town centre as part of the carnival week programme. This event is always massive, with a great selection of bikes of all types.
On Wednesday 3 June, The Crown Wharf will host a mediumship evening with Ruth James, with raffle prizes also planned.
A carnival treasure hunt will take place in Stone town centre on Thursday 4 June. Organisers say those taking part will follow clues for the chance to win a treasure chest worth up to £100.
