Livestream Events - Autumn Festival 2024
This year for the first time you can watch the Gloucester History Festival from anywhere, broadcast live from the Festival!
To view the livestream of an event you will need to purchase a ‘livestream’ ticket, by clicking the Livestream booking link button on the event page of the event you want to book.
Single Livestream events cost £6 each and can be purchased until 7pm on 22 September .
How do Livestream events work?
Once you have purchased your livestream event ticket, you will receive a confirmation email receipt.
At least 45 minutes before the event is scheduled to begin, you will receive a further email containing the livestream link and access instructions.
Click on the link 5-10 minutes before the event starts and you can then view the livestream of the event exactly as it happens! Events will also be available to view via the same link until 11 pm on Friday 27 September 2024.

Frequently Asked Questions

- If I’m late to the event but it’s still taking place, can I still join?
