Festival of Wonder
  • St Laurence Church, The Shambles, Stroud
    GL5 1JL
  • Friday 21st November - Until Sunday 23rd November
“Reawakening wonder in an age of exhaustion.” What stops you in your tracks in a moment of WOW? What sparks your imagination to run and spurs you to act? Whether it’s community or justice, music or art, beauty or magic, sounds or silence, the Festival of Wonder invites you to step back take time and wonder.

The Festival of Wonder offers a wondrous array of spectacles, activities and spaces designed to engage, enrich and inspire wonder. The majority of events are free to attend but there are 2 free events where tickets are recommended due to limited numbers and the fundraising Gala where there is a range of tickets prices to suit all pockets.

The majority of events and activities are FREE to attend and open to all ages.

This year, we will explore our understanding of wonder in powerful new ways and, in particular, consider how we might find beauty and hope in unusual places, in particular, in aspects of the natural world we often take for granted. Can we gaze on unexpected wonders through which we experience a ‘more beautiful world that our hearts know is possible’.

So, whether you enjoy the wonder of the natural world, the wonder of words, imagination, creativity, song or dance, we hope you will find something to again brighten, lighten and inspire.
