Events in Gloucester From 25th May – 31st May 2026

You can find events in Gloucester this week that cover the city’s history and live music. This week includes guided walks through Gloucester’s past, starting from its founding as Glevum in AD 48 and continuing through the medieval era. The city’s development around Gloucester Cathedral and its role during the First English Civil War in 1643 are part of the story. On the River Severn or in the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, you can walk along routes that shaped the city’s growth. The Fosse Way, the railway, and the M5 motorway remain key to how people access the area. You’ll also find evening music sets and social events in the city centre. For the best experience, plan ahead, Southgate Street and the historic docks can be busy, and parking near the riverside is limited. Travel by bus or train to avoid congestion. Check the listings below for times and locations. If you’re visiting, note that some venues are outside the city centre, just outside the city or a short drive away.
