The Subscription Rooms is a handsome late Regency building in the heart of Stroud and hosts year-round arts and entertainment, exhibitions, markets and meetings.

Built in 1833 by public subscription, the venue still plays an important part in community events. It is now owned and managed by Stroud District Council.
