Chance for local businesses to get behind the 2024 Stone Food & Drink Festival

Chance for local businesses to get behind the 2024 Stone Food & Drink Festival

Stone’s annual foodie gathering is set to make a welcome return to the town’s Westbridge Park this year over the weekend of Friday 5th, Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th July.

Organisers have now released a number of sponsorship packages offering local businesses the chance to be a part of this vibrant event which, as a not-for-profit CIC, relies on funds raised through sponsorship to help cover its significant operational costs. Festival Chairman, Richard Stevens, says:

“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 – 10,000 visitors passing through the gates to the main event on Westbridge Park over the weekend – offering a fantastic platform for businesses to promote their brand to an engaged audience.

Another thank you - and it’s a BIG one! 

Without the small army of volunteers who work tirelessly in the run-up to, during and after the ‘big weekend’ the Stone Food & Drink Festival simply couldn’t happen.

It takes serious manpower to run an event of this scale - so a huge thanks to everyone who donned a white hi vis, be it for a few hours or several days, your support is vital!

Big thanks also to Wendy & Dave for working with us throughout the year to recruit, engage and organise our volunteers - you are simply awesome! 🙌 

We can’t wait to see you all at our volunteers’ thank you event - details coming soon!

In the meantime, if you’d like to join our merry band get in touch - volunteers@stonefooddrink.org.uk
