Football fans have been invited to take part in an interactive trail honouring Maidstone United’s FA Cup success.

Organised by One Maidstone, it has been set up throughout the town centre – with several prizes to be won – in collaboration with the club.

In February, the Stones were the first team outside the top five divisions of English football to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup since Blyth Spartans in 1978.

Maidstone beat Championship side Ipswich Town 2-1 in January but their cup run came to an end after they were beaten 5-0 at Coventry City.

Thousands of supporters queued for hours in the hope of getting a ticket to watch the games.

Commemorating this historic achievement, Business Improvement District (BID) One Maidstone has opened the trail last Friday.

It runs until Sunday, June 2.

There are 22 posters to find that are displayed in shop and business windows around the town centre.

Those taking part can scan the QR codes on each one and enter the competition to be in with a chance to win:

– Signed Maidstone United Shirt.

– Three-day pass for a Maidstone United Soccer School.

– Family Pass (two adults, two children) to a league game during the 2024/2025 season.

– A £75 voucher to use at The Village Maidstone Pub and Grill (T&Cs apply).

– A £150 shopping voucher.

Michelle Woodland, CEO of One Maidstone said: “We are delighted to be celebrating the success of Maidstone United by bringing this trail into the town centre, working with local businesses and encouraging visitors into town during the next two months.”

The winner will be notified by Friday, June 7.
