There is plenty to keep all the family entertained in Gloucester this Summer!

Visit England are running a national campaign 'Escape the Everyday', here in Gloucester we thought we would run a series on things that you can't do everywhere everyday, but you can in Gloucester! 

Archaeological investigations have started on the site of the King’s Quarter redevelopment on the site of the old Bruton way multi-storey carpark.

Rebecca Phillips who works at the Cathedral writes a blog about the amazing research work from one of thier experienced placement students, from the University of Bristol.

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. 

The bar staff were beyond friendly and to see a venue offer their own brews added to the experience. From their Banana beer, to their selection of all time classic favourites and to my personal favourite- White Rum and ginger beer on ice with a wedge of lime, I could see that the crowd were having a good time. The Outdoor Inn was definitely the place to be on a Friday afternoon after a long day at work and a great way to start the weekend (and the month).

The annual campaign encourages people to get outside and enjoy some DIY al fresco dining, and there’s never been a better excuse to support Gloucester’s food and drink traders.
