STROUD Bowl is this week’s trader of the week.
Stroud Bowl is a popular venue in the town drawing visitors of all ages.
The thrill of chucking a bowling ball down an aisle to knock over the pins is nothing short of excellent fun.
Stroud Bowl also hosts professional bowling with Team England tournaments, bringing the very best of bowling to Stroud.
It is a truly family business as well.
There are also pool tables and top class coctails on offer to make your visit brilliant.
