The Gloucester History Trust is looking to add two new trustees to their board of trustees for this exciting charity, which has an annual turnover of c£350,000 from running the Gloucester History Festival in September, its Spring Weekend in April and the King’s Talks programme.
These have become landmark festivals in both city and county since inception in 2011, and been recognised locally and nationally as premier league history events, mostly in the unique setting of Blackfriars.
The trustees seek candidates with a love of history and heritage, great histories, and a desire to build pride in Gloucester through hosting great and interesting speakers, and help take the Festival and related events to the next level – as our digital Winter Warmer programme goes live to international as well as domestic customers.
Applicants with experience in law and/or governance, of statutory reports to the Charities Commission, ensuring diversity and inclusion policies are up to date: with experience of festivals and events and or of relevant technology will be especially welcomed as will younger candidates.
Candidates with physical disabilities or transport challenges should be reassured that most of our meetings are digital and can be done from home.
Appointments are voluntary and unpaid, with monthly meetings, for which many employers should be able to provide time, and an opportunity to be more involved during Festival activity. Trustees also have the chance to meet our speakers and play a part in developing further our charitable aims, which include greater involvement of students and pupils.
Do spread the word and encourage enthusiastic, can do friends interested in this great charitable good cause to apply to: by 30th January 2025.
The film ‘Secrets of Westgate Street’ premiered at the Gloucester History Festival Spring Weekend on 21st April and was made to showcase the fascinating story of this historic thoroughfare. It has been produced as part of the Cathedral Quarter HSHAZ for Gloucester City Council and Historic England by Squeaky Pedal.
The film and trailer are available to view here.
Gloucester’s High Street Heritage Action Zone (HSHAZ) is known as the Cathedral Quarter HSHAZ. It is a £1.9m programme funded by Gloucester City Council and Historic England to breathe new life into Westgate Street, which as the film shows is rich in heritage and full of potential.
Developed in Roman times, Westgate grew into a bustling medieval street, and it is still the beating heart of the city of Gloucester today. But beneath the modern streets and behind the shop frontages there’s a hidden story which this new film brings to life in striking visuals, including a Lego model. The film also shares exciting new discoveries about Westgate’s historic buildings which have been uncovered as repairs were carried out.
High Streets Heritage Action Zones is a £95 million government-funded programme led by Historic England, designed to secure lasting improvements and help breathe new life into our historic high streets for the communities and businesses that use them. Historic England is working with local people and partners to unlock the rich heritage on these high streets, through repair and improvement works as well as arts and cultural programmes, making them more attractive to residents, businesses, tourists and investors.
In the tiny Gloucestershire Parish Church of Coberley, halfway between Cirencester and Gloucester, lies the tomb of Sir Thomas Berkeley. Sir Thomas was one of the six Gloucestershire knights who crossed to France with King Edward III ready to fight at the Battle of Crécy in 1346. Alongside him lies his wife and a miniature tomb of a child.
Having survived the battle, Sir Thomas died in 1365 and his wife, Lady Berkeley, later went on to marry Sir William Whittington. Their son, one Richard Whittington, grew up to be the Dick Whittington of legend, the eventual Lord Mayor of London. The Gloucester History Festival will be commemorating the 600th anniversary of Dick Whittington’s death in 1423 next September.
The Battle of Crécy, in which Sir Thomas Berkeley fought, was a key battle in the early years of The 100 Years’ War. The lead up to it, starting from Edward III’s invasion of Normandy, was the focus of the 2022 Winstone Talk, with Dan Jones, which took place in Cirencester on the 29th of October 2022. Dan’s recent book, and debut foray into historic fiction, Essex Dogs, published by Head of Zeus, explores this conflict from the perspective of a group of foot soldiers from Essex – fighting for each other and to get back to the only home they know. It’s a fascinating insight into medieval life in both England and France.
Gloucester History Trust Win Pandemic Pivot Award(fewer than 20 paid FTE employees) at the Museums and Heritage Awards
City Voices, Gloucester History Festival and Gloucester Heritage Forum are delighted to announce that their shortlisted collaboration project of Gloucester Looking Up has won the Pandemic Pivot Award at the National Museums and Heritage Awards on Thursday 1 July.
The National Museums and Heritage Awards have celebrated the very best within museums, galleries and heritage visitor attractions across the UK for over 10 years and the partners are incredibly proud that this wide-ranging project based on collaboration and partnership with the city’s cultural and heritage locations and organisations has been recognised.
“In a year where the Pandemic resulted in isolation and separation for so many, for this deeply collaborative project celebrating connection and city-wide appreciation for our heritage and history to win, is incredible for Gloucester, and a symbol of what partnerships can achieve even in the face of great challenge,”
says Jacqui Grange, Project Manager for Gloucester Looking Up.
The three lead partners in the project, City Voices, Gloucester History Festival and Gloucester Heritage forum worked closely with Gloucestershire Archives and were supported by film production company Squeaky Pedal and marketing consultants Flying Geese to ensure that Gloucester Looking Up project reached as many people as possible and deepened engagement with the City.
In total, Twenty five artists, 125 volunteers, and over 40 organisations collaborated within an extraordinarily tight period of time to create an astonishing range of work. The descendant of a kindertransport child was traced, and his image installed in his former hostel – the Polish tenants who now live there were so proud they took the day off work; colourful artworks were installed across the city in windows for people to encounter on their daily walks; support for Black Lives Matter was shared through We See Gloucester ( Do You See Us?) in heritage venues across the city; the stories of all the people of the city, from the cleaners to the town crier, the poet to the veteran were told through interviews, poetry and commissioned films, in novel and accessible ways, including a British Sign Language Tour, downloadable artists maps, and activities for families and children.
To deliver this, a tiny team worked round the clock, with just 2 months to pull together the content, and create a new website for Gloucester History Festival to showcase in September 2020.
Richard Graham, Gloucester MP says,
“This award is a real boost to the exciting community based projects that bring alive the City Voices strand of our Gloucester History Festival. A great day for pride in our city, its stories, diversity and togetherness.”
As well as being well received critically by local and national audiences, this new digital content allowed the partnership to build and grow new and more diverse audiences. Over 26k people watched the films, and new social media activity generated a reach of 1.3M people – all of whom are now more aware of the special stories that Gloucester has to tell than they were before.
The Gloucester Looking Up project was funded by Historic England.
City Voices congratulates all the Museums and Heritage Awards winners!

City Voices, Gloucester History Festival and Gloucester Heritage Forum are delighted to announce that their collaboration project of Gloucester Looking Up has been shortlisted for the National Museum and Heritage Awards.

Gloucester Looking Up created a unique opportunity for new and existing, local, national and international audiences to be inspired by the City where three strands of interconnected artworks were commissioned. This resulted in an interactive online map which lead audiences to film, photography and downloadable resources. These resources showcased local people as they shared stories about the spaces they love. A Living History programme, in which libraries, archives and heritage sites worked with the community to collect and share their experiences of lockdown was created and a series of cultural commissions, co-created with artists, venues and communities brought alive the stories of the City in new and innovative ways.
In total, Twenty five artists, 125 volunteers, and over 40 organisations collaborated within an extraordinarily tight period of time to create an astonishing range of work. The stories were fantastic – we traced the descendant of a kindertransport child, and installed his image in former hostel – the polish tenants who now live there were so proud they took the day off work; colourful artworks were installed across the city in windows for people to encounter on their daily walks; we showed our support for Black Lives Matter by sharing We See You ( Do You See Us?) in heritage venues across the city; we told the stories of all the people of the city, from the cleaners to the town crier, the poet to the veteran through interviews, poetry and commissioned films, and in novel and accessible ways, including an animated British Sign Language Tour, downloadable artists maps, and activities for families and children.

Online premiere of the 2025 Winstone Talk
Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Trump’s second term and current conflicts in the Middle East mark one of the most challenging periods in Europe’s history since WW2. After the collapse of Soviet Communism, the West convinced itself that liberal democracy would be the dominant system of governance. However the rise of Vladimir Putin proves that it’s often unwise to make such predictions. Former BBC Correspondent and leading historian Martin Sixsmith traces the historical forces and myths shaping Putin’s politics, explores Russia’s influence on current global conflicts and reveals how the Kremlin is rekindling the Cold War.
