Gloucester City Council has announced its events programme for a busy summer and autumn filled with events and festivals as the city comes out of lockdown. 

As the government has now issued the roadmap to ease restrictions around social distancing the city council has been busy finalising the event programme for Gloucester. 

Summer this year sees the return of the Gloucester Goes Retro Festival and a new exciting festival which will see the comedian John Bishop and McFly perform in Gloucester Park. 

And this winter the city will be illuminated by a range of artists for Bright Nights. All events are subject to current government guidelines. Safety is always the main priority for all events.
