You can find events in Gloucester this week offering a range of ways to spend your time. This week highlights the city's heritage, with guided walks exploring Roman origins as Glevum around AD 48 and stories of Gloucester’s development through the medieval period. Walks start at St Michael's Tower and cover areas near the Cathedral. There are also opportunities to attend talks on local history and to hear music, including a live session by A Guy Called Gerald at DEYA Brewing Company. Evening events include an emo music night at Gloucester Guildhall and a dance competition at Freedom Leisure @ GL1.
