Gloucester Believes

Did you know that Gloucester’s love of Christmas goes right back to the Romans, who would’ve celebrated Saturnalia here?

Gloucester truly is an amazing place to visit during the run-up to Christmas, bursting with winter markets, beautiful illuminations, floating sleigh rides, amazing events and experiences, visits from Santa, crafting workshops, Christmas parties, and of course the Gloucester Quays Ice Rink, there is so much for all generations to enjoy together.

Gloucester City Council is helping to encourage shoppers to support local and independent retailers by offering free parking after 3pm on Thursdays in December in both Eastgate Shopping Centre and Kings Walk Shopping Centre car parks.
