GLOUCESTER From Romans to Victorians - taking you on a fascinating journey into the past...
DATE FOR
THE DIAR
Y
ps Tall Shi l Festivaay 25-27 M
Gloucester was founded in AD97 and some of its ancient Roman heritage can still be seen today. Since then it has grown into a bustling city with a rich historic past. The focal point of the City has to be the beautiful Cathedral, which is steeped in over a thousand years of history. Its ‘Great East Window’ is one of the finest examples of English medieval stained glass, while its ‘Cloisters’ have been famously featured in the Harry Potter films. The heart of the City is home to two excellent shopping centres, ‘King’s Walk’ and ‘The Eastgate’ - home to many top name stores.
Places of interest include the Museum of Gloucester offering a diverse range of displays and unique exhibitions. You’ll also find Gloucester Guildhall - a fantastic venue offering music, theatre, cinema, comedy, workshops and more! A short walk will take you to the famous Docks. The renovated Victorian warehouses served what was once the most inland port in Britain. If you enjoy activities, then why not try karting at JDR Karting or zap your way around the colourful lasertag arena.

OPPING!
ntre Town Ce ith now w is w John Le ! store Explore the Regency Spa town of Cheltenham, famous for its fine architecture, tree-lined Promenade, speciality shops, parks and gardens, numerous cafés, bars, bistros and restaurants and of course, the internationally acclaimed festivals and events which occur throughout the year. Cheltenham takes great pride in its beautiful parks and gardens and has won the prestigious accolade of ‘Britain in Bloom’ on several occasions. Take a stroll around the Imperial and Montpellier Gardens, or through Pittville and Sandford Park to appreciate the floral splendour for yourself.
Cheltenham became a fashionable place to visit in 1790 following the discovery of the Spa waters, and a subsequent visit from King George III. The heritage of that time left a huge impression on the town, and this can still be seen and admired in the magnificent Regency buildings of Montpellier and Pittville. The town’s spa waters can still be tasted at The Pump Rooms in Pittville Park. Cheltenham has also become known as ‘the festival town of England’ with numerous festivals that attract thousands of visitors to the town throughout the year. These include the National Hunt, Jazz, Music, Science, Cricket and Literature Festivals.

GO JURAS

e Meet th t rs a dinosau ! Birdland The Cotswolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is one of the most beautiful and captivating areas of England. Known and loved by people across the world - with its warmth and character, where Cotswold stone walls, buildings, open skies, rolling grasslands, beech woods and picturesque villages make it a spectacular English landscape - once experienced, never forgotten. During Medieval times the Cotswolds were well known throughout Europe for supplying excellent wool. Many of the buildings and traditions that remain today are a result of this industry and can be enjoyed by visitors to the area.
There are many historical gems that span the ages, including Berkeley Castle, Chedworth Roman Villa, Sudeley Castle, Newark Park and Lodge Park. In the north Cotswolds near Moreton-inMarsh, you will find Batsford Arboretum - a beautiful natural wonder with a large garden centre, shop and restaurant. Also on the Batsford Estate is the popular Cotswold Falconry Centre, flying birds of prey four times a day. Other wildlife attractions include Cattle Country Adventure Farm Park, WWT Slimbridge, Cotswold Wildlife Park, Birdland & Jurassic Journey, Prinknash Bird & Deer Park and Adam Henson’s Cotswold Farm Park.

A beautiful place to escape, explore and imagine Back in the 1740s, Benjamin Hyett designed an unusual garden to entertain his guests at Painswick House. This was a theatrical place, nestled in a hidden valley and perfect for holding intimate garden parties. It was a country gentleman’s experimental creation, not the realisation of a horticultural dream. Instead of an orderly flower garden, Painswick Rococo Garden is a haven of peace and tranquillity to explore, sprinkled with quirky features to tickle your fancy. The Garden is the perfect place for all ages to get out in the fresh air and enjoy. Families can battle their way to the centre of the maze and explore the woodland rustic play area. Well-behaved dogs, on leads, can join in the fun too! There is plenty of free parking and tasty homemade food and warming drinks on sale in the cosy cafe. There’s plenty going on in 2019, from summer sculpture with Art Unbound, to outdoor Shakespeare and family theatre - please check their website for full event details.
