The traditional and bustling Market town of Stone is situated off the A34 in Staffordshire, just 8 miles from Stafford. Stone is steeped in a long and colourful history as a canal town, situated midway along the Trent and Mersey Canal.
On the first Saturday of every month, the popular Farmers' Market visits the town, attracting many visitors looking for speciality produce. Throughout the year Stone also hosts various themed Markets such as the French, European and World Markets. The town Markets are also a regular feature in the High Street - visiting Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Stone is known as The Food and Drink Capital for a good reason, as the diverse choice of cuisine is excellent - offering a wide range of choice, form traditional home cooked food through to Indian, Thai, Chinese, Italian and fine specialist dishes.
Adding to the vibrancy of Stone - various events take place throughout the year, including the Stone Festival held annually in June and the highly successful Food and Drink Festival which takes place in October.
