Forthcoming Events

The Stroudwater Textile Trust holds events throughout the year which promote interest in, and awareness of, our wonderful local textile heritage. Some events are hosted by ourselves, others are run by our partners in the textile community. Watch out for classes, talks, walks, demonstrations and exhibitions.

Forthcoming events are listed on this page (please note that the 24-hour clock is used). Click on the button to book your place. If you want to visit one of our mill sites, click here.

We look forward to seeing you at an event, and thank you for your interest in Stroud’s industrial history and the work of the Stroudwater Textile Trust.
