Blog (Things to Do) - Visit Gloucester

In celebration of our Children's Art Week Competition, Maddie from Jolt has given us 10 ideas on how to get Creative in the City.

The Wonderful World of the Ladybird Book Artists’ at the Museum of Gloucester runs from the 26th of June until the 26th of September 2021 - we highly recommend a visit!

We at Visit Gloucester have commissioned the marketing agency, thinkingplace, to work with us to develop a place story and marketing approach for Gloucester. This will help us market the area to encourage more visitors, attract inward investment and create jobs, and support existing business in the area.

Children’s Art Week this year runs from Monday the 28th of June, until Sunday the 18th of July, so actually it is a bit more than a week, but there are so many opportunities to get creative that this is a good thing!

Summer seems to finally be here, and with it comes warmer weather and more opportunities for socialising. However, with up to 51.8% of us putting off exercise when it’s warm, it’s important to make sure we’re still keeping active even in the summer. 

Take a look at our Guest Blog from Lauren Hopkins, Marketing Manager at Gloucester Quays - Gloucester Quays is the 'quay' to a great day out in the City!

Sunday the 20th of June is fast approaching, so we thought we would share some of our ideas if you were looking to spoil that special someone in your life. From gift ideas through to activities, why not make it a truly memorable day, right here in the City.

Gloucester hosts a vibrant programme of cultural events and activities all year round, from roof top festivals to City poetry trails and fashion shows. With a fantastic community of arts organisations, Gloucester is a great place for young burgeoning creatives.

Half Term is fast approaching, and you may well be starting to make plans to entertain the kids, or just yourselves! There is so much to do in the City of Gloucester come rain or shine, which is probably just as well going by the weather we have had recently! Listed below are a few ideas that you might want to consider, although, just wandering round the City itself is the perfect place to start and see what takes your fancy. 

With spring well on its way, and the summer sunshine just round the corner, it is worth remembering that Gloucester has more than its fair share of green spaces in and around the City Centre to enjoy.

With the Easter weekend fast approaching and schools about to break up for the holidays, we thought we would share a few ideas of things to do in and around Gloucester.
