It’s a pared-back 2024 Stone Festival, gone is the carnival parade, fun fair and two-wheeled Tuesday event – but there’s still events happening.
As we reported in March, a lack of volunteers to organise and manage the 2024 Stone Festival has led to the cancellation of several events. The team is working hard to ensure that the Stone Festival will be back with a bang in 2025 – if you’d like to get involved – head on over to StoneFestival.co.uk
