The picturesque town of Gloucester sits in the heart of the historic county of Gloucestershire in South West England. The city is surrounded by the stunning Cotswold Hills, the flat fertile valley of the River Severn and the ancient Forest of Dean.

The most inland port in England, Gloucester is full of ancient architecture and Roman history. The city was founded as a fortress by the Romans in AD49 and the nearby towns and cities, such as Cirencester, Lydney, Brockworth, and Yanworth house plentiful Roman remnants. The famous Gloucester Cathedral in the heart of Gloucester was the backdrop to many historical events such as the coronation of Henry III in 1216 and the burial of King Edward II in 1327. More recently, Gloucester Cathedral was also used as the backdrop to the Harry Potter movie franchise.

When it comes to food, Gloucester’s larder is filled with an amazing variety of products from the fertile lands that surround the city.

### Gloucester Docks

There is simply no better place to dine out when the sun is shining, than the historic Gloucester Docks. With over 15 restaurants, the chefs at Gloucester Docks work closely with local producers to showcase their ingredients. Many of the eateries are family-run businesses from around the world offering something special that diners can’t get anywhere else.

Diners are transported to the sunkissed Mediterranean and can savour a taste of the Aegean at Greek on the Dock (GL1 2EW), or sample outstanding tapas and crepes at Spago Creperia. There are also many quality restaurants bringing Asian flavours to Gloucester from Thailand and Vietnam, and Sowl Fuud is Gloucester’s only solely vegan restaurant.

Gloucester Brewery (GL1 2LG) serves amazing homegrown beer straight from the keg at the Tap Room in Warehouse4, and Sibling Distillery and Wholly Gelato are the latest newcomers to the Docks.

### College Court

College Court is said to be the most beautiful and most photographed street in Gloucester. Visitors flock to this quaint cobbled street in their hundreds, not least because of its bright bunting and colourful shops. The street is full of independent local businesses and there is a real community feel about the area.

Hubble Bubble Coffee House serves flavoursome artisan foods such as forest wild boar and venison burgers.

If it is something quintessentially English you are after, then Lily’s Tea Room (GL1 2NJ) is where you need to head. Proud bearers of the ‘This England’s Finest Tea Room’ award, Lily’s Tea Room offers seasonal afternoon teas and mouthwatering British classics.

### Gloucester Farmers Market

Gloucester is home to a wide range of markets. One of the most popular ones for food connoisseurs is the Gloucester Farmers Market at The Cross (GL1 2EZ) in the heart of the city. Held every Friday, it offers a superb range of locally grown, organic fruit and vegetables, farm-fresh meat, poultry and game.

The Market is also home to two outstanding bakeries, which churn out delicious cakes, pastries and speciality bread.

Artisan producers selling locally made cheeses, charcuterie and preserves are also a firm favourite with shoppers. If it’s a spot of lunch you are after, stop by one of the popular street food vendors serving falafel, Thai curries and Caribbean specialities.

With such a bountiful larder, it is no wonder that Gloucester is a draw for food and drink festivals all year round.

A big part of the festival’s attraction is that it is completely free.

Over the festival weekend, visitors can sample a large selection of locally produced food and buy beautiful artisan crafts from over 150 stalls. Pop-up bars serve a selection of local brews and craft beer, and some of the region’s best street food vendors tempt the tastebuds.
