Gloucester Day traditionally marks the launch of the festival and raises morale in the City. The Gloucester Day event is the reinstatement of the original Gloucester Day – a day of celebration on the lifting of the siege of Gloucester – in 1643. This occasion was celebrated annually for centuries.
Working in partnership with Alan Myatt, the Crier to the Cathedral City and Port of Gloucester, in 2020 we presented our first ever socially distanced Gloucester Day.
