Five Valleys

Five Valleys, located in the heart of Stroud, Gloucestershire, has undergone a significant transformation over the last five years, evolving from a dated shopping centre into a vibrant retail and leisure destination. This renewal project has attracted a diverse range of national and independent businesses, offering fashion, health and beauty, dining, a cinema, and a bowling alley. The centre also boasts a new indoor market showcasing local artisan traders and a Medical Centre providing primary care services, physio, and podiatry.

The redevelopment emphasizes sustainability with initiatives like electric car charging points, LED lighting, and a high recycling rate. Recent upgrades include solar panels and a heat pump system for the Medical Practice, aiming to reduce carbon emissions. Notable developments include the opening of the Courtyard for events, the official opening of the Medical Practice by HRH The Princess Royal, and the launch of the Five Valleys Indoor Market.

The centre's history is marked by its renaming from Merrywalks and phased refurbishments of its entrances, mall areas, and car park. Five Valleys is committed to environmental responsibility, with ongoing efforts to enhance sustainability. Traders within the market also contribute through waste segregation and food waste reduction.

The centre aims to be a central hub for the community, offering a blend of shopping, dining, services, and entertainment.
