As usual, the Stone Town Council Market will also be taking place at the top of the High St.

Stone Town Councillor Jill Hood said:

“We’re looking forward to seeing the knights once again in town on St George’s Day after last year’s even being delayed due to the pandemic.  Come along to the Market Square and cheer on your favourites in the battle between Saint George and the Black Knights”.
