Stroud Fringe Festival has been running in one way or another for nearly 20 years and in its current guise it has a bright and creative body behind it, looking to move it forward and give their festival a fun and memorable feel. It takes place in many venues across the area including pubs, clubs, cafes, venues and outdoor spaces.

In 2015 the Stroud Fringe Festival is FREE and taking over August Bank Holiday weekend and they plan to celebrate the mountains of local talent and musical enthusiasm in the area. A full programme will be spread across the town in many venues and providing visual performances, music, poetry and more throughout the weekend.
