What is Stroud Sacred Music Festival?
Centred on St Laurence Parish Church, the Stroud Sacred Music Festival started as an idea among friends in the autumn of 2014. The aim was to create an event that promoted unity and peace by celebrating the power music has in bringing people together and breaking down boundaries. Inspired by co-founders Revd Simon Howell and Girish Patel, and backed by a whole army of volunteers, the first festival took place in the summer of 2015. No one could have imagined just how successful the festival would be!

"An Act of Unity and Peace"
Each year the festival brings together a soulful and eclectic mix of music from a whole range of sacred traditions – including Christian, Hindu, Muslim and Jewish, as well as the music of indigenous peoples. It is a celebration of difference and diversity within our community, and is open to everyone, whether they are a person of faith or not.
