Featuring a special screening of multi award-winning, Oscar®️ and BAFTA qualified short film THE STUPID BOY, followed by a panel discussion with Writer/Director Phil Dunn, hosted by the amazing Edith Bowman.

GOOD ON PAPER 10TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY/FUNDRAISER

TICKETS

Founded and run by Alex Hobbis (editor) and Adam Hinks (design) Good On Paper was launched in February 2015 to provide a definitive guide to arts, music, theatre, film, dance, comedy, literature and spoken word events in Stroud to both its residents and visitors.

As well as producing listings the magazine also supports the work of local artists, authors, musicians, filmmakers and other creatives...

It also provides budding writers, photographers and filmmakers the opportunity to hone their skills and gain invaluable experience in print and media which they have used in furthering their own careers.

In 2025 the magazine will be going into its 10th year. A mighty milestone…And the Good On Paper Party/Fundraiser returns on Saturday 1st February, this time taking places across two venues: the radical ‘pay-what-you-can’ community hub The Long Table and multi-arts venue Studio 18.

First launched in 2016 the GOP Party acts as a fundraiser for Good On Paper; whilst bringing forth a hoard of local artists, musicians, poets, DJ's and more to celebrate the vibrant, creative scene which Stroud is increasingly becoming renowned for. A one day festival if you will. An eclectic mix of live music, spoken word and art. As well as securing a future for the magazine which remains a part time project it will also raise vital funds for the venues hosting it.

Good On Paper continues its close working relationship with d&b audiotechnik who will install their world renowned speakers for the stage at the Long Table. And Valley Steppas will be wheeling in their epic sound system to Studio 18...
