The Stroud Salon returns! Back for its second year, this relaxed gathering is staged to celebrate and support up-and-coming local writing talent.

Join us at The Stroud Hotel for an afternoon of readings, talks and conversations from an eclectic selection of emerging Gloucestershire writers, who have been invited to share extracts from their current work – be it a novel in progress, a collection of poems, or a fully-fledged memoir. The full line-up will be available online from mid-October, and on the day itself.

Pull up a chair, grab a coffee or drink from the Bucknall Bar, and soak up the creative spirit of the Five Valleys.

Venue: The Stroud Hotel

Tickets: Free event, no booking required. Attendees are welcome to drop in and out throughout the afternoon.
