2020 will see plenty of entertainment in Gloucester, as the city looks to build on what has been a fun-filled year in 2019.

Brand new events will be coming to the city this year, adding to the return of some very popular ones – here’s our guide on the best things to look out for.

Festivals
Gloucester is quickly becoming a growing hotspot for festivals.

Following a successful ‘taster weekend’ in 2019, the inaugural Gloucester Country Music Festival will be bringing some of the finest names in UK and worldwide country music to venues across the city in October.

The 27th edition of the Gloucester Cajun and Zydeco Festival gets underway on Friday 24th January, followed by the Folk Trail in February and the Kings Jam Festival in August.

The Gloucester History Festival will be celebrating the city’s roots for a week in September, coinciding with Gloucester Day.

Music
When it comes to music there’s plenty of choice in Gloucester.

Café René has built a reputation as a live music hotspot with bands and singers performing nearly every week. They also host their Renegade Festival in April and their Rhythm and Blues Festival every July.

Both Little Mix and Westlife have announced that they will be performing at Kingsholm in July as part of their summer tours.

And some of the country’s best tribute bands will be appearing at the Gloucester Fake Festival in May.

Stage
Gloucester is home to some of the county’s best amateur theatre companies.

The St John’s Players have announced their spring production will be ‘And Then There Were None’, whilst The Phoenix Players will be bringing ‘Sabbat’ to The Kings Theatre in February.

The Gloucester Guildhall will be showing regular screenings of Royal Opera House and National Theatre productions, and will also see tour dates from comedians Matt Forde, Stephen K Amos and Phil Wang.
