Diary dates
There’s always a lot going on around Stroud, and we try to list the best of it here. If your event’s not listed, let us know. If you need a hand staging your event, try making a Help Request. If you can’t see anything you like, why not set up your own event? Talk to us if you’re not sure how.

Up for doing a bit more?
Going to stuff and showing your support, getting new ideas, is great, we love it, we love it when we see you there, but could you spare a little time to help out? Have you any really great skills, knowledge, experience or contacts that’d be useful? Can you help put up the posters, make the sandwiches, or tell a few jokes? (We love jokes!) Find out more about volunteering.
