Stone Town Council is bringing medieval knights to the town centre as they host a belated Saint George’s day celebrating on Saturday 25th September.
St. George’s day was on the 23rd April 2021; however, the much-loved knight’s parade and the battle couldn’t go ahead due to the pandemic lockdown restrictions.
The event, on Saturday 25th September, will start with a parade down Stone High Street at 12:30 pm, heading down to the Market Square, led by Saint George on horseback.
Once in the Market Square, the Black Knights will fight Saint George and his men in front of the assembled crowd.
There will be an opportunity to experience wearing medieval armour and a children’s medieval fancy dress competition themed on knights, damsels and dragons.
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:
“St George’s Day may have come and gone, but the fight continues.
Come along to the Market Square and cheer on your favourites in the battle between Saint George and the Black Knights”.
