2025 Well Dressing: Saturday 26 July – Sunday 3 August

Welcome to the Stoney Middleton Well Dressing website. We aim to maintain & promote the custom of Well Dressing for present & future generations. Our Well Dressing Week incorporates a week of varied activities for all ages, these include a treasure hunt, model boat race, quizzes, brass band, children’s events, sports events & fell race to name but a few. 

Profits from Well Dressing Week are ploughed back into the village community. For 2025 we invite any local group to apply for a grant.
