Stories from The Ship Inn - Sun Days at the Ship
2025-07-27 14:00 - 18:00 | Ship Inn Community Space, Bristol Road, Stonehouse, GL10 2AF
Join us for a relaxed afternoon celebrating the heritage, wildlife, and stories of the Stroudwater Canal and the historic Ship Inn.
Although the Ship Inn was demolished in the 1990s, it once stood proudly at the corner of Bristol Road and Downton Bridge—an important hub for the local community. The road now runs over where the pub once stood, and the site, left untouched for years, has become a haven for wildlife.
Stories from the Ship brings together the rich history of the pub and surrounding industry with the vibrant natural life that now thrives there and all along the Stroudwater Canal.
Meet and chat with local organisations helping to piece together the past and present:
– Cotswold Canals Trust
– Stroud Valleys Project
– Transition Stroud
– Stroudwater Navigation Archive Charity
– Cotswold Herbs – offering free foraging walks
– Fiona Eadie, captivating storyteller
…and more!
Enjoy music, lawn games, free face painting, and delicious food & drink on sale.
Plus, speak to the team working on the future plans for the site and find out what’s next for this beautiful and historic location.
Bike parking available on site
No car parking – please walk or cycle via the canal towpath if you can.

The Stonehouse Regatta is back!
A beloved annual tradition from Victorian times, and started by landlord of the Shipp Inn Robert Larkin (check out the Stroudwater History website for more information), the Stonehouse Regatta is making a return — and you’re invited to take part!
Please note: No parking at the event but easy to get to by bike or on foot along the canal towpath.
On the Water:
Led by the fantastic team at Stroud Canoe Club, the regatta will feature canoe races, water polo and other surprises with qualified coaches on hand.
You’ll be on the water for about an hour, competing against other teams.

Minimum age: 7 years
Booking required – Click here to reserve your spot!
A Nod to the Past:
The original regatta featured races, a funfair, and even Bovril bombs. There was also a brass band — and we’d love to bring that tradition back.
Know a local brass band who might join us? Please send them our way!
On the Land:
Not keen on getting wet? No problem.
BBQ sizzling
Cold drinks flowing
Games for the kids
Music playing
Bring a blanket and your finest curly moustache to relax by the water and cheer on the racers
