Stroud Fringe line-up: all the times and locations you need to know for this year’s festival

The highly acclaimed Fringe Festival will take over the town this bank holiday weekend for a jam-packed schedule of music, live performance and street entertainment.

With the free festival celebrating its 20th anniversary and over 130 different acts performing on seven unique stages over three days and nights - it promises to be the biggest and best year yet.

And for the first time this year the team have launched an app – Stroud Fringe 2016 - which can be downloaded from the Appstore on IPhone and Android.

This gives festival-goers the full line up, venues, information and allows them to set live updates for when bands are starting.

So with more information available than ever this year – you have no excuse for missing any of the acts performing over the weekend.
