In Things to Do

Christmas is getting closer and with the schools breaking up, it's time to plan all the fun activities to fill the next two weeks! 

Christmas in Gloucester is filled with an array of fun things from shopping in some of our independent shops, incredible food & drink (have you tried the Gloucester Food Dock yet?) and activities for all the family!

Outdoor Ice Rink

Open until 7 January

For shared family adventures and fun, you can show off your skating skills on the magnificent Outdoor Ice Rink at Glouester Quays. Grab your friends and capture your visit with the Santa’s Sleigh photo booth. And if skating is not for you, then grab a cup of hot chocolate and take in the fun of the outdoor spectacle.

Museum of Gloucester

Multiple Dates

Visit the Museum of Gloucester before the 7 January to see their current exhibition - Buttons, Badges, and Blazers! Embark on a captivating journey through Gloucester’s vibrant history, meticulously woven into fabric!

While you are there, you can complete the Magical Winter Lanterns trail. Start a quest to find all of the twinkling lanterns hidden around the museum and collect a special prize at the end!

Runaway Reindeers

The Christ-Mouse Family Trail

Winter Lights & Heights
