St George’s Day Event 2022

Saint George’s Day Event 23rd April 2022

Stone Town Council is celebrating Saint George’s Day by bringing medieval knights into the town on Saturday 23rd April 2022.

The event will start with a parade at 1:00 pm down the High Street to Market Square led by Saint George on horseback, which children are invited to join. 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, with a £25 prize for the best fancy dress.

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: “Come along to the Market Square for this popular event and cheer on Saint George as he battles against the Black Knights”.
