Yard Trail Stroud is back this bank holiday Monday (30th August) between 10am and 2pm.

Taking place in front and back gardens across the district, Yard Trail Stroud brings the community together to buy, sell or give away anything and everything from clothes, furniture and bric-a-brac to artwork and plants.

Started in 2017 by Victoria Ashcroft, the increasingly popular event aims to connect people to their neighbours, keep landfill to a minimum and enable anyone who wants to, to follow the map on the day to pick up a bargain.

2019 saw more than 100 households register for the event, which couldn’t take place in 2020 due to Covid 19.

“A lot of us have really missed second hand sales," said Victoria.

"We’re really looking forward to seeing the community out and about again, discovering more of Stroud, buying, selling, recycling and chatting to their neighbours again.”
