A music venue in Gloucestershire which has hosted artists including The Beatles has secured £10,000 for an upgrade.
The Subscription Rooms in Stroud - also known as The Sub Rooms - has been crowned the regional winner for the South and East of England in copyright group PRS For Music’s Back to Live Music Venue Prize competition.
Originally built in 1833, the historic arts centre - which saw The Beatles take to the stage in 1962, a year before their big break - was saved by local residents when it was set to be sold into private ownership. In 2018, ownership of the grade II-listed building was transferred to Stroud Town Council and Stroud Subscription Rooms Trust.
