# Event Details - **Event Name**: Historical Tour Of Gloucester - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sun, 03 Jan, 2027 at 03:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Gloucester: A Journey Through Time with Ghosts & GigglesJoin Ghosts & Giggles every Sunday at 1:00 PM for an immersive walking tour that peels back the layers of Gloucester’s 2,000-year history. This tour balances the city’s darker past with its most significant historical milestones, offering a comprehensive look at how a Roman outpost became the vibrant city it is today.The journey begins at the very foundations of the city. Originally established as a Roman fort in AD 48 and later transformed into the Colonia Nervia Glevensium, or Glevum, Gloucester served as a vital settlement for retired legionaries. You will explore how the city’s modern street layout still mirrors the original Roman grid and discover the hidden remnants of the massive walls that once protected the empire’s frontier. The tour highlights Gloucester’s pivotal role in the Golden Age of Mercia. You will learn about Lady Æthelflæd, daughter of Alfred the Great, who chose Gloucester as her primary seat of power. She founded St. Oswald’s Priory and was instrumental in defending the city against Viking incursions. Her leadership turned Gloucester into a religious and administrative heart of the kingdom, and her legacy remains a cornerstone of the city’s identity.As you weave through the historic center, the tour explores the medieval peak of the city, dominated by the construction of the magnificent Gloucester Cathedral. You’ll hear tales of the monks, the pilgrims, and the tragic fate of King Edward II. Moving into the Tudor era, the guide will bring to life a time of religious upheaval and architectural transformation, pointing out the timber-framed buildings that survived the passage of centuries.A key highlight of the tour is Gloucester’s defiant stand during the English Civil War. In 1643, the city held out against a month-long siege by King Charles I’s Royalist forces. You will learn how this Parliamentarian stronghold changed the course of the war—a victory so significant that the restored monarchy later ordered the city’s defensive walls to be dismantled in retaliation. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/gloucester/historical-tour-of-gloucester-tickets/80003672463913 - **Event Categories**: trips-adventures, coronation-weekend - **Slot details of has slots**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Kids Allowed: Yes - Pets Allowed: Yes - Age Limit: All Ages - Tickets Needed For: All Ages - Duration: 2 Hours - Photography: Freely Allowed ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 7.7, max: 16.5, currency: GBP - **Ticket informations**: - ticket_1 — 16.50 GBP - ticket_2 — 7.70 GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Gloucester - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Folk of Gloucester, Westgate Street, Gloucester, UK - **lat**: 51.8642449000 - **long**: -2.2381560000 - **full address**: Folk of Gloucester, Westgate Street, Gloucester, UK, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Event Photo 1 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69de7a9195ec0.jpg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 2 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69de7a5c8efb1.jpg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 3 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69de7a3c5f0ab.jpg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 4 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69de7964144e1.jpg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 5 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69de79366c687.jpg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 6 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69de78fb85abb.jpg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 7 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69de78c9f2b1b.jpg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 8 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69de78b36aaea.jpg - **Alt text**: Event Photo 9 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69dd96c648da9.png ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Historical Tour Of Gloucester being held? - **A:** Historical Tour Of Gloucester takes place on Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Sun, 03 Jan, 2027 at 03:00 pm at Folk of Gloucester, Westgate Street, Gloucester, UK, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Historical Tour Of Gloucester? - **A:** Ticket prices for Historical Tour Of Gloucester range from GBP 8 to GBP 17 depending on the ticket type. - **Q**: What is the refund policy for Historical Tour Of Gloucester? - **A:** Historical Tour Of Gloucester offers a full refund on ticket cancellations.
