Malty Story Festival

🎉 Malty Story Festival 2026
Stroud Brewery's 20th Birthday Bash!

Stroud’s biggest party is back for year three - and it’s still one of the most affordable festival weekends in Gloucestershire! From June 5-7, Stroud Brewery transforms into three floors of music, dance, and pure chaos, celebrating local heroes, big names, and the weird, wonderful spirit of Stroud.

Bonus: It’s all indoors, so come rain, shine, or the apocalypse - your pint stays dry, your socks stay happy, and your dance moves remain unhindered.

Last year, thousands of revellers packed the brewery, and the festival was shortlisted as one of Gloucestershire’s best events. This year, we’re going even bigger: full-room takeovers across punk, folk, reggae, breakbeat, drum & bass, funk, Afrobeat, and more, plus family zones, special festival beers, and the kind of atmosphere that makes your Instagram jealous.

Advance tickets come with a free Stroud Brewery welcome pint, but only while stocks last and only with advance purchase. Sunday is completely free for all ages, because we’re nice like that.
