Forest Green Rovers are opening the Black & White Lounge as a free co‑working hub for parents, letting them work pitch‑side while children join the club’s summer football camps. The three‑week programme runs until the end of August, offering Wi‑Fi, coffee, power outlets and a view of the holiday camp.
What does the co‑working space offer?
Parents can enjoy free Wi‑Fi, tea, coffee, water and plenty of power points, all while watching the camp activities from the lounge. The venue also provides free parking and a quiet workspace with direct pitch‑side views, making it easier to balance work and family during school holidays.
Who can join the holiday camps?
The camps welcome boys and girls aged five to 13 of all abilities, delivering skill‑building sessions at Nailsworth Primary School Field. Qualified coaches run regular sessions, and a new goalkeeping‑specific day has been added for aspiring keepers. A vegan hot lunch and fruit snacks are provided each day.
How can families win a free camp day?
Stroud Times is partnering with Forest Green Rovers to give away ten free days at the holiday camp. To enter, respondents must email the answer to “Who is Forest Green Rovers’ captain?” to ash@stroudtimes.com by noon on August 12.
What is the club’s current standing?
Forest Green Rovers finished the 2025 season in 7th place in the England National League with 81 points, recording 23 wins, 12 draws and 11 losses, and a recent form of WLWDW. They scored 82 goals and conceded 52, sitting 27 points behind league leaders York. Their next fixture is a home match against Yeovil Town on 2027‑02‑06, with Yeovil currently 16th in the table.
The co‑working initiative reflects the club’s community‑first ethos, giving parents a productive environment while their children stay active and learn football. Spaces are limited, so early registration is advised to secure a spot and enjoy the unique experience of working with a view of the pitch.
