The Festival helps shine a light on one of Stroud District's success stories - manufacturing and engineering. It's a great way to celebrate the District's long and proud engineering tradition, showcase world renowned companies and promote manufacturing and engineering as careers of choice. We hope young people are inspired by the Festomane events and that relationships between education and business will continue to grow. We are very pleased to sponsor the festival as part of our 'jobs and growth' agenda. Why not take a look at some of the work-related activities that the council is involved with in our Jobs and Growth Plan.
