The first Stratford Park Music in the Park event of 2025 will take place on Sunday 4 May.
These popular, free events feature a variety of bands performing from 2- 4pm every Sunday from May to September in the park’s Victorian style bandstand. Visitors can enjoy a variety of music styles, from award-winning brass bands to jazz and steel bands.
The events are open to everyone, and people are encouraged to bring a picnic and blanket to enjoy the beautiful 56-acre park. Refreshments will be available from Stratford Perk café in Active Lifestyles Stroud and the Museum in the Park.
The park in Stroud hosts a variety of other events including a miniature railway on the fourth Sunday of the month (April to October), Stroud Show and a weekly 5km parkrun every Saturday morning.
Stratford Park, which is owned by Stroud District Council, features an arboretum with 800 trees, a lake, a Victorian orangery, expansive lawns, two recently refurbished children’s play areas with accessible equipment, and a small skate park.
