We've listed some March highlights below!

Children’s Crystal and Mindfulness Workshop

07, 14 & 21 March, The Folk of Gloucester

A fun learning experience where children can find out about the crystals associated with each Chakra. Local instructor Enchanting Aruella will take kids through the emotions associated with each Chakra and how each crystal can help balance them out. Every child will receive a crystal of their choice and affirmation card at the end of the workshop.

‘Light and Song’ – A Recital of English Song Featuring Tenor James Gilchrist

07 March, Gloucester Cathedral

Hosted by The Holst Society in the Chapter House within Gloucester Cathedral, their recital, 'Light and Song', explores music and words across four centuries; they have lovers seeking the shade of trees, gazers at the stars of heaven, summer evening sunset, deams and imaginings. There are some lesser-known gems and some familiar songs. A highlight is Britten's astonishing Canticle 1 'My beloved is Mine', which sets the metaphysical poet Francis Quarles as he meditates on divine love. Surrounding this masterpiece are works of Dowland, Vaughan Williams, Gustav and Imogen Holst, Rebecca Clarke, Madeleine Dring, Muriel Herbert, and a little gem by Dilys Elwyn-Edwards setting Yeats. 

Orchard St Food & Craft Market

07 – 08 March, Gloucester Quays

Set against the stunning backdrop of Gloucester Quays, the market brings together an exciting mix of delicious, locally sourced food and drink, artisan arts and crafts, jewellery, homeware, plants, seasonal produce, and mouth-watering street food and drinks. Wander, taste, and soak up the vibrant market-day atmosphere while meeting the friendly, passionate producers and makers. With around 70 fantastic traders each month, including all your regular favourites and some brilliant new businesses joining for 2026, there's always something new to discover.

Cocktails, Roast & Truffles for Mother's Day

15 March, Coal Kitchen

The best roast. The best place. The best lady in your life. This Mother's Day, Coal Kitchen are setting the table for the woman who was always there, who fed you first, who made the table feel like home. Every mum will be welcomed with a cocktail/mocktail on arrival, and at the end of your meal hand-made truffles from the Bristol Pastry Kitchen.

BIFF to the Future

20 March, Gloucester Guildhall

The iconic villain of "Back to the Future" takes centre stage in this comedic reimagination of Marty's time-traveling escapades, turning the celebrated cinematic trilogy on its head from the perspective of Biff, the bully audiences love to hate. This new, heartfelt and unauthorised parody explores the highs and lows of a life chasing power, fame and fortune, reliving Biff's encounters with Marty and Doc across the centuries.
