Gigs are what we do best.
We are delighted with our line up of great live music and entertainment.
Nearly all gigs are ticketed, the exception is when it’s a Bank Holiday, Saturday or our Beer Festival.
Please do book tickets in advance. We recommend doing this as many of our gigs sell out.
If you are a carer, please access a ‘CARER’ ticket on the event ticket page. Most gigs will have three carer tickets available. If you can’t see it on offer they may have gone. You can contact us
If you want a ‘CONCESSION” ticket then have one. Most gigs have ‘concession’ tickets. You don’t have to show anything, or prove anything to access them. Student /Skint*/Teacher/Blue lightworker/ Old/Young.
If you are coming as Gig Buddies - tell the bar and claim a free portion of chips
*If you are really skint and want to come to a gig, let us know in advance, we may be able to sort something.
Email lotte@theprincealbertstroud.co.uk, maybe you can help by putting up posters
