Appeal to businesses: Stone Food and Drink Festival needs your support 

1 min read

Businesses are being encouraged to get behind a town’s popular food and drink festival. 

Stone Food and Drink Festival will return to Westbridge Park this year, running over the weekend of Friday 5, Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 July. 

The event is a not-for-profit CIC and relies on the funds raised through sponsorship to help cover its significant operational costs. 

A number of sponsorship packages have been released offering local businesses the chance to be part of this year’s event. 

Stone Food and Drink Festival Chairman Richard Stevens.

Festival Chairman Richard Stevens, pictured above, said: “2024 marks the Stone Food & Drink Festival’s 19th year – and the aim of the event remains to help bring visitors into Stone to support our amazing High Street shops, bars and restaurants. 

“We are always hugely grateful for the support of local businesses that sponsor the event, and this year we have more opportunities to get involved than ever, from sponsoring lead attractions like the live music stage and demonstration kitchen through to hospitality packages allowing companies to entertain their clients at the festival in VIP style.” 

The festival attracts thousands of visitors into Stone each year, with an average of 8,000 to 10,000 people passing through the gates to the main event on Westbridge Park over the weekend.
