A photographic
opportunity
What Gloucester History Festival features over 100 events which will take place at various
venues across the city including Gloucester Guildhall, the Historic Docks, Gloucester
Cathedral, City Museum and The Folk Museum.
This Festival offers a selection of exciting
events, for example the opportunity to celebrate
the end of the Royalist siege of our city on Gloucester Day and hear about the
least known of rulers who have shaped Gloucester,
Aethelflaed of Mercia. Relive the Second World War in an Air Raid shelter,
watch archive film from the 50s, bring antiques to be valued, see Civil War
re-enactments and listen to the Town Pipers. Then there are no less than
eighteen great talks about local and national issues. Several draw on
anniversary themes and especially the start of the First World War.
