Came here with my three year old on a saturday. She loved looking at the planes and getting to play in the various different plane cockpits. The ticketed tours of the larger planes are well worth it as well, staff are friendly and informative and for free admission and parking it's well worth a visit.

Gloucester Cathedral offers at least 3 tours (costs range 7-13 GBP) and they are conducted by volunteer locals, so I feel fine paying/contributing. I took the Highlights and the Tower tour total of 30min and 1hr respectively, (couldn't fit the Crypt tour) both done by lively docents who know their Norman vs. Perpendicular architecture and history. book when you enter. You could walk around on your own, but having a local guide you also get more interesting commentary.

Easy to find and was just up the road from our hotel. People were very helpful. This is the only place we found bus timetables for around Gloucestershire as we had decided to use the buses whilst we were in Gloucester. Plenty of information available and well stocked.We even picked up a map of the public houses in the town which is what we wanted as we were going to try out some of them.

Attended the concert to celebrate the life of Damon T, a wonderful evening of good music. So nice to get out and hear some live performance. Felt very safe with the excellently distanced, precooked pitches. Even had gazebos up,so the rain wasn’t a problem. Staff very welcoming and helpful, waiter service with ordering by App easy to use too. Definitely go again

Hillfield Gardens are situated on London Road in Gloucester, and would be easy to miss. They are beautiful gardens which hold some monuments from Gloucester’s rich history....the kings board being one of them. I walk past these Gardens on my way to and from work and visit quite frequently. Considering they are on an a very busy road, it’s a haven of peace and a nice area of nature so close to the city.
