Gloucester Festival of Archaeology

About

In partnership with Gloucester Cathedral, Museum of Gloucester and several organisations and Heritage venues in Gloucester. Working together we are bringing a host of activities designed to appeal to residents and visitors alike by encouraging everyone to look up and down and explore the city for the day through a range of run and low-cost activities.

This festival kicks off on 18th July with the wonderful Family Day, with 3D art, Festival Village at The Folk, a Cathedral Dig and the Creativity Card in the Museum of Gloucester.
