Stroud Social weekend line up announced
5 October 2021
The Stroud Social is set to bring a jam-packed weekend of live entertainment, music, and street food to the town centre on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th October!
The new event will be held on along King Street, next
to the Five Valleys Shopping Centre, which will be pedestrianized for the
weekend. The Stroud Social aims to bring the local community back together,
through a celebration of local performers and independent traders.
There will be a cookery theatre showing live cooking
between 11-4pm on Saturday and 12-3pm on Sunday with local independent
hospitality owners such as “Oh Crepe”, “Thai2Go” and “Fat Tony’s” giving
tasters of their favourite dishes!
Live
performances from Stroud’s local colleges will be shown
throughout the Five Valleys shopping centre and King Street, with communal
seating provided so you can sit back and enjoy the show! There will also be live
music from Stroud College band, UkeStroud, Jazz Big Band and the Stanley Strummers.
For the children, the Stroud Social will host a Kiddie’s
Corner with activities such as colouring, giant games and a magician, alongside
street performers for the whole family to enjoy!
