About

In collaboration with Steampunks of Gloucestershire, we've invited Europe's most scary traditional Christmas characters to come and visit The Folk! Alongside plentiful Krampus antics, there will be market stalls, live music and even a Krampus play. The Folk of Gloucester cafe and bar will be serving delicious German sausages and strudel alongside a range of freshly-prepared lunches, cakes and hot and cold drinks. Bring the whole family for a free festive day out - but make sure to stay on your best behaviour when a Krampus is around!

Alternative market stalls
Photo opportunities at the Krampus Grotty (like a grotto but scarier!)
