FOR THE ART LOVERS

WILLOW WEAVING WORKSHOP
Why not book a slot for yourself and another for this fabulous willow weaving workshop with the amazing Norah Kennedy. Create a willow structure for your garden.
FOR THE ROCK n ROLLERS
The Sub Rooms is best known for the huge variety of music acts and bands that we bring to Stroud… give the gift of music this year with tickets to some of our most exciting shows. There’s something for everyone!
THE ORB
The Orb’s pulsating discography grows ever more huge, with their 18th album, and 3rd helmed by core duo Alex Paterson and Michael Rendall. Despite the connotations of its title, ‘Prism’, here they continue to rollick freely without inhibition across ambient, house and dub, but also tangent into poetry, pop, full-blown drum ‘n’ bass and actual reggae.
JUDGE JULES
He’s one DJ that has been there, done it, and done it all again. For almost three decades Judge Jules has led the way in the world of dance music. Since kicking off his career behind the decks in 1987, Judge Jules has ticked every box, as a DJ, producer, promoter, A&R, radio presenter, taste-maker and, more recently, a music specialist lawyer.
Widley recognised for influencing an entire generation with residencies on both Kiss FM and BBC Radio 1, to this day the Judge continues to be on the playlists of millions with his weekly radio show The Global Warm Up, which notches up 750,000 downloads every week via his podcast and is broadcast on over 80 stations around the world.
Don't miss the chance to see him at The Subs!
PEATBOG FAERIES
Hailing from the Isle of Skye, the legendary Scottish trailblazers have created a glorious mixture of traditional sounds and dance-floor grooves that have been embraced worldwide. Drawing upon a dazzling myriad of influences from jigs and reels through Dance Music, Jazz, African, and more, they bring the sound of Scotland fresh-faced and breathless to the new audiences around the world.
FLOWERS BAND
The Flowers Band from Gloucestershire is now in its 54th year of outstanding musical excellence. We are the highest ranked band in the West of England and currently ranked as the 6th best brass band in the world.
See them at The Subs this February!
FOR THE COMEDIANS
We all have that one friend or family member who thinks they’re a bit of a comedian! Gift them comedy tickets- for lots of laughs, and hopefully an improvement in their jokes!
GEOFF NORCOTT
On this his sixth UK tour, Geoff Norcott will be trying to make sense of the current cultural and political scene with his playfully provocative brand of humour. Whether it's the dire blandness of the two main parties or the shamelessly shoe-horned right-on messages in adverts and films, Geoff will continue to tread in areas much of comedy leaves well alone
ROB NEWMAN
Rob Newman's epic stand-up show goes from cave paintings to car-free cities, by way of Imperial Rome's chariot ban, Rapper’s Remorse, and the dance steps of Homo Ergaster.
★★★★
“One of comedy’s most skilled performers… this is an exquisite, erudite, well-crafted show”
Evening Standard, 2023
GAIL PORTER
Gail has just completed 31 sold out shows at The Edinburgh Fringe and is now taking her hilarious stand up show on tour. Join us at The Sub Rooms for her wickedly funny look at her life in the spotlight.
