Gloucester Day Parade

Gloucester Day Parade

Saturday 21st of September 2025

The Steampunks of Gloucestershire will be mustering at the DeCrypt Cafe  Most of us will be attending the Thanksgiving service at 12 noon. We will then be joining the parade from 1:30pm on. Cross Streets of Gloucester will come alive with stalls, stands, lively performances (on the stage on Southgate Street) and all the pomp and ceremony of the traditional Gloucester Day parade through the four main gated streets, led by the Mayor and Sheriff of Gloucester, in full Civic Regalia.

Gloucester Day traditionally marks the launch of the festival and raises morale in the City. The Gloucester Day event is the reinstatement of the original Gloucester Day – a day of celebration on the lifting of the siege of Gloucester – in 1643. This occasion was celebrated annually for centuries..

All Hallows Masquerade Ball

Put this on your dance card....
A night of music, dancing, licentious debauchery, hedonism, wild abandon*, and snacks!

*Unfortunately due to insurance restrictions and the risk assessments participants will have to provide their own licentious debauchery and wild abandon. Management also asks that you please keep the noise down and do not upset the neighbours.

PS, no goats allowed.
