There’s a lot happening at Five Valleys right now — and it’s a great time to get involved.
We’ve just installed new InstaVolt electric vehicle chargers, making it easier and faster than ever for visitors to charge up while enjoying everything the centre has to offer. It’s a small but important step in making Five Valleys more accessible and future friendly.
Our Friday Late Night Food Market is fast becoming a local favourite. With live music, a buzzing atmosphere, and incredible food from around the world — including Thai, Italian, Japanese, and Cuban — it’s the perfect way to kick off the weekend.
Saturdays are just as lively, with our Food Hall packed full of flavour and energy. We’re also expanding the Food Hall just now, adding three new units and more seating to meet growing demand.
We’re currently on the lookout for new traders to join the line-up — so if you know someone with a brilliant food concept, we’d love to hear from them.
Over at Vue Cinema, half term is the perfect time to catch a film. Don’t miss their Mighty Mornings and Big Shorts — ideal for introducing little ones to the magic of the big screen.
Looking ahead, we’ve got a Halloween event planned for Friday 31st October, with spooky fun for all ages. And that’s just the start — keep an eye out for more seasonal events as we head into the festive season.
You may have also noticed some exciting changes underway in the former Wilko’s unit. That’s because we’re preparing to launch Home of Vintage — a brand-new hub for vintage, craft, and creativity, opening this autumn.
This space will bring together some of Gloucestershire’s finest vintage and pre-loved traders under one roof, from retro fashion and handmade goods to upcycled furniture and restored treasures. It’s set to become the biggest vintage space in the region and a real celebration of Stroud’s creative spirit.
We love working with new and growing businesses here at Five Valleys and if you’re interested in talking to us about being a trader at the Home of Vintage email vintage@fivevalleysstroud.co.uk
Don’t forget to explore the new season collections at Sandersons Boutique and discover gifting gems throughout the centre — perfect for getting a head start on your Christmas shopping.
There’s so much to enjoy at Five Valleys right now — and even more to come. We can’t wait to welcome you in.
