Sofa Showrooms in Gloucester

9 showrooms from 7 brands

Gloucester's 9 sofa showrooms split between Gloucester proper and Cheltenham — Gloucestershire's two main retail centres essentially share a catchment. Gloucester itself has Dunelm at the Peel Centre on St Ann Way (GL1 5SH) and ScS on St Oswalds Road (GL1 2UE), covering the budget end at the city's edges. The bigger cluster sits up at Cheltenham's Gallagher Retail Park at GL51 9PX/9RR and the adjacent Kingsditch Lane area — DFS, Furniture Village, ScS Cheltenham, and Sofology all working the same Tewkesbury Road retail strip. That's classic out-of-town retail park efficiency: park once, hit four showrooms. The properly interesting pulls are the design-led brands. Sofas & Stuff has two showrooms in the area — one at Stroud's Woodchester Mill on Selsley Road in North Woodchester (GL5 5NN) and another on Portland Street in Cheltenham itself (GL52 2NX). The Stroud showroom is set in a converted Victorian mill, which suits Sofas & Stuff's British-craft positioning perfectly and is a genuinely lovely place to spend an hour with fabric swatches. Neptune Cheltenham on 4 North Place (GL50 4DW) anchors the luxury end with proper country-house style. With 4 budget, 1 mid, 3 mid-to-high and Neptune at the high end, price coverage is genuinely solid for a smaller city catchment. What's missing: no Italian houses, no John Lewis, no IKEA, no Arlo & Jacob. Premium-Italian shoppers head to Bath or Birmingham. Practical bits: Gallagher Retail Park is easy off the A40, parking is free and plentiful, and combining the Gloucester end with Cheltenham works well as a half-day expedition. The Stroud detour adds 25 minutes but rewards you with Cotswolds scenery and one of the prettier showrooms in England. Avoid Saturday afternoons — Gallagher gets properly busy. Gloucestershire's spread-out furniture geography is annoying for time-poor shoppers but quietly excellent for variety.

Benny's Local Tip

“Gloucester Quays and the Eastern Avenue retail parks cover the main brands. Compact city, easy to navigate, and you can reward yourself with a Gloucester Old Spot sausage roll after.”
