Tom Wilmot, Joint Managing Director at Capital&Centric, said:
“We wanted to put on something that everyone can enjoy and head down to. People are often at loose end over the long Easter weekend, so it’s great to be able to put on a free street party with loads of local talent and entertainment.
“Stoke-on-Trent is evolving and the Goods Yard neighbourhood is at the centre the push to create a really liveable, vibrant town centre where there’s fun experiences for locals to get involved in – whether you’re into music, art, or just spending time with your mates.”
Tickets aren’t required for the event, with entry on a first-come-first served basis.
