Welcome to SUMMER 2022 Stone Food & Drink Festival!

WHAT’S INSIDE...

W

e know this programme is hitting your doormat a few months earlier than normal – but it’s with very good reason! Due to works on Westbridge Park set to start in autumn, the only option was to move this year’s event to the weekend of July 15, 16 & 17. While it’s meant the team has had to pull out all the stops to organise a festival in pretty much half the normal time, we can’t pretend we’re not excited about the prospect of running the festival on long, sunny days!

So, other than (hopefully) much better weather, what can this year’s visitors expect? The answer is the same great event but with even MORE food stalls and street food vendors and some exciting changes to the Little Foodies’ Zone. Top local chefs will still take the stage in the Demonstration Kitchen on the hour, every hour; there will be a packed programme of Talks & Tastings to enjoy, the live music stage will feature fantastic performances to ‘get the party started’ while a host of Staffordshire breweries, cider, cocktail, wine and fizz bars will ensure everyone can indulge in their favourite tipple.

Young visitors, meanwhile, will enjoy a ‘new look’ Little Foodies Zone where they can learn all about food’s farm-to-fork journey, create their own milkshakes and enjoy fairground rides.

The festival’s main aim remains to bring visitors into Stone for the benefit of local businesses – so on Saturday 16th July a special ‘Festival edition’ market will line the High Street with food, drink, craft and gift stalls all well represented. Town centre traders – from boutiques and butchers to bars and restaurants – have once again got into the festival spirit and will be hosting some great events in the run-up to the big weekend.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Westbridge Park to celebrate all that the ‘foodie’ Staffordshire has to offer – from passionate artisan producers to fantastic bars, pubs and eateries. In the meantime, take some time to browse this indispensable guide to help you make the most of the opportunities to eat, drink, shop, learn – and enjoy!

EAT

LEARN

We’ve got more Street Food traders than ever this year, representing a range of culinary styles from across the globe. The challenge will be deciding what you want to eat!

The Demonstration Kitchen is back with live cookery demos on the hour, every hour from some of the region’s finest culinary talent. Catch the rising stars of the Staffordshire foodie scene alongside established chefs already making a real mark in the industry – full schedule on page 30. Meanwhile, in the Talks & Tasting Tent it’s the producers’ turn to share their stories and expertise – check out the full lineup on pages 32-34.

DRINK Staffordshire brewers will once again be out in force in the ‘beer garden’ area, with artisan cider also represented and wine, fizz and cocktail bars offering something for those who fancy something a little more refined. In the Gourmet Marquee, you’ll also find Prosecco, beer, wine and spirit makers – with ample opportunity to try before you buy!

SHOP Our Gourmet Marquee has almost doubled in size from last year, with something to suit every palate – from sweet treats and amazing bakes to savoury pies and pastries, cheeses, preserved meats, gourmet ingredients, globally-influenced cuisine, local delicacies, gifts - and much, much more. Traders travel from as far afield as Scotland and Cornwall to showcase their wares – just make sure you don’t fill up too much on samples as you’ll want to leave room for Street Food!

L

ive music is a big part of the Stone Food & Drink Festival – and this year we’ve got some great acts lined up for the Lexus Stoke Live Music Stage!

On Friday, local supergroup The Dandy Lions – made up of a mystery lineup from some of Staffordshire’s best live bands – will entertain crowds throughout Friday, playing a range of laid-back classics with a summer vibe.

Over the weekend, youngsters from Stone’s Rooftop Studios Performing Arts Academy will return to the stage before and between bands to keep the crowds entertained. Saturday’s entertainment will be provided by Lost the Plot with their trademark mix of great music and zany performance (watch out for the cuddly toys!), while newcomers House Jammerz will keep the party going performing House classics live.

Sunday’s acts include legendary Stone 3-piece Stone Cold Sober(ish) with their catalogue of hits covering all genres from the 50s to modern day (plus plenty of banter) and Cherry Groove – performing hits from the 60s to the present day and covering acts that include Anastasia, Pink, Dolly Parton, The Foo Fighters, Tina Turner, The Police – and too many more to list here!

LITTLE FOODIES’ ZONE

Little Foodies’ Zone I t’s all change at the Little Foodies’ Zone for 2022 – with a focus on farming and learning where our food comes from (while having bags of fun!)…

The Children’s Farm

Penkridge Farm Park PLAY@ Lower Drayton Farm is bringing all the fun of the farm to this year’s festival – with a stand packed with fun yet educational activities. You’ll be able to get up close to the farm’s massive combine harvester, meet friendly animals including goats, sheep and pigs – and learn all about your food’s farm-to-fork journey. There will also be craft activities on offer, mini pedal tractors for ‘little farmers’ to enjoy, and the chance to win some amazing prizes!

The Milkshake Shack – pay per milkshake/activity It’s back for 2022! Build your own mega-milkshake from fresh, locally produced milk and decorate a cookie to take home and eat. Parents from Oulton First School PTFA are running the stall, with Tixall dairy farm The Wright Family Dairy kindly donating delicious Jersey milk; so all proceeds can go towards raising much-needed funds for the school. P.S. If you love the delicious, fresh milk – or milkshakes - you can pick up a regular supply direct from The Wright Family Dairy’s ‘Taste the Milk’ vending machine at Lower Drayton Farm near Penkridge.

STREET FOOD

Bringing a buzz to Stone town centre…

T

he aim of the Stone Food & Drink Festival has always been to bring visitors into Stone for the benefit of local businesses. Which is why we’re delighted to be working with Stone Traders’ Group again this year to bring you some fantastic High Street events!

Stone Street Food

F

ollowing the success of our Street Food events last year we’re bringing global flavours back to the heart of Stone with two street food markets in 2022. The first ran in May and was a resounding success, with food stalls and pop-up bars gracing the High Street and attracting bumper crowds.

The next event will run on Thursday 11th August from 3pm – 9pm and will feature even more stallholders.

To add to the buzz, local shops will open late and of course our fabulous pubs, bars and restaurants will be showcasing what they have on offer.

Stone Seasonal Markets

I

n 2021 we ran a Christmas Market – and it was such a hit that we are running three seasonal markets throughout 2022.

The summer market, supporting the Food & Drink Festival, will take place in the High Street on Saturday 16th July from 9am – approx. 3pm. There will also be two Christmas Markets – one on Saturday 20th November and another on Saturday 11th December – perfect for ticking gifts off your Christmas list.

The markets will once again feature an eclectic mix of craft, gift and food and drink stalls – and of course our fabulous local shops will be open for business, too!

PARK & RIDE

Park & Ride – the easy way to arrive!

P

ublic parking in Stone town centre is under pressure – but we have a solution!

Follow the yellow direction signs to ABB on the Outlon Road at the north end of town, park up and hop on a shuttle bus for just £3pp (accompanied under 16s free).

There will be two stops on the route in – at the top of town (highly recommended to check out our fantastic local traders and on Saturday the High Street market) – and close to Westbridge Park itself.

We’d like to say a big thanks to ABB for their support in providing the venue, and to Rob Smith for running the Park & Ride service - all proceeds go to local charities.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

H Brown & Son Recycling Ltd –

helping minimise our impact on the environment

W

ith the festival producing roughly 4 tonnes of waste each year, we are keen to ensure that as little of this as possible goes into landfill. We are hugely grateful to Staffordshire-based waste management operator, Brown Recycling, for their support in helping us reach this goal.

Our small army of litter-picking volunteers help keep the site clean and tidy both over the weekend and after the visitors have gone home

42

and, once they’ve filled the skips, Brown’s collect the festival waste and sort it completely free of charge to support our community-centred event.

On average, some 98% of the festival’s waste was put into the recycling chain.

For more information of H Brown & Son Recycling Ltd services, which include skip hire and waste management alongside recycling and scrap metal handling, visit www.brownrecycling.co.uk or call 0800 998 1069.
