A warm, recently refurbished and self-contained venue in the heart of Stroud, ideal for meetings, workshops, tutoring, wellbeing sessions and smaller groups.
The Coach House is full of natural light, character and warmth. Designed for groups of up to 20 people, it offers a calm and comfortable setting for meetings, creative work, professional use and community activities.
It’s also a great option for people who work from home and want an occasional shared workspace — whether you’re meeting colleagues for a collaborative day, hosting a small project session or simply need a quiet and private place to work.
With its own entrance, kitchenette, private bathroom and additional upstairs meeting space, the Coach House provides an independent environment while still being just steps away from the main Scout Centre.
Every booking supports local Scouting.
By hiring the Coach House, you’re helping us maintain and improve our site, keep Scouting affordable and provide more opportunities for young people in Stroud.
You can view the live Coach House calendar online to see when the venue is currently in use. Existing bookings are displayed simply as Busy to protect hirer privacy.
Once you’ve found a suitable date and time, send us an enquiry and our volunteer venue team will confirm whether we’re able to accommodate your booking.
Please note:
a free space in the calendar means that no booking is currently recorded for that time. Your booking is not confirmed until you have heard back from our venue team.
The Coach House is a bright, modern space designed for focus, comfort and smaller group activities. Natural light from skylights, wooden flooring and a thoughtful refurbishment make it an inviting venue throughout the year.
Popular uses include:
Looking for a party venue?
The Coach House is designed for quieter activities and is not suitable for parties, bouncy castles or loud events. Our Scout Centre is a much better option for these bookings.
The Coach House includes a well-equipped kitchenette, suitable for preparing drinks and light refreshments during your session.
Please note: this is a light-use kitchenette and is not suitable for commercial catering.
The Coach House has its own private toilet and shower on the ground floor, available exclusively to your booking.
An additional upstairs room offers a quiet, flexible area ideal for meetings, breakout discussions, tutoring, private consultations or focused work.
Accessibility:
the upstairs meeting space is accessed via an internal staircase and is not wheelchair accessible. If you have particular access requirements, please contact us before booking so we can discuss whether the venue will be suitable.
The Coach House is available at the same simple rates as the Scout Centre:
If you’d like to hire both the Coach House and the Scout Centre together, the cost is double the individual rate.
Scout and Guide groups receive 25% off 24-hour, overnight and weekend bookings.
All income from venue hire goes back into supporting Stroud Valley Scout Group, helping us maintain and improve the site for young people and the wider community.
If you are hiring the Scout Centre at the same time, both venues can be accessed through a shared internal route.
Before your booking, please review our building and outdoor grounds risk assessments. We have also included our current public liability insurance certificate for reference.
Check the live calendar for your preferred date and time, then send us an enquiry. Our volunteer venue team will confirm availability and the next steps with you.
