Stoke-on-Trent City Council is inviting residents, businesses and organisations across the city and beyond to ‘save the date’ for the Stoke-on-Trent celebration weekend.

On Thursday 5 June 2025, the city will burst into celebration following 100 years of city status. The day will be set in the calendar as the very first Stoke-on-Trent Day.

When King George V declared Stoke-on-Trent a city on 5 June 1925, it was a move that made Stoke-on-Trent a global name. Honouring the rich history, vibrant culture and unique identity, for three days in June the city council is calling on everyone with links to the city, at home and away, to celebrate the city built on clay and coal. 

Stoke-on-Trent Day will be a yearly celebration on 5 June that celebrates the history, culture, the built and natural environment and the communities that make the city. Over the celebration weekend - Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 June - Stoke-on-Trent City Council will be hosting events for all to enjoy, express togetherness and show pride in their city.

For 2025, the council is asking everyone to ‘save the date’ of Saturday 7 June and to get involved in a mass-participation carnival feel celebration - from resident associations, sports clubs, schools, colleges and the university to businesses, charities and youth groups and performing arts groups.
