Gloucester’s rich history comes to life with a series of talks, parades and performances across the city, culminating in the largest Heritage Open Days event in the South West (the 3rd biggest in England).

With over 2000 years of history, Gloucester is the perfect city in which to host a Festival dedicated to History. This programme is packed full of events to inspire and entertain you from thought-provoking talks to archaeological digs, from parades to flotillas and from family history to Horrible Histories.
