GLOUCESTER GOES TIME TRAVELLING - FREE EVENT
Residents and visitors to Gloucester this spring are being invited to step back in time – as the city travels 2000 years through the ages.
Hundreds of re-enactors will transform Gloucester with Roman encampments, medieval knights , English civil war scenes, Victorian classrooms, Vikings, Nelsonian boats, sailors and world war II military vehicles.
The transformation of the city takes places on April 19-20 – the nearest weekend to St George’s Day.
The event will start with a grand parade at 11.00 featuring St.George on horseback and other ‘special guests’ will include Henry VIII – and his wives.
The entire weekend – which has been funded by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and sponsored by English Partnerships – will show the part played by all of the different groups in the history and development of the city.
