SUMMARY:Behind the Scenes Tours of the Folk of Gloucester
DESCRIPTION:A “Behind the Scenes” Tour of three Tudor houses “If only Walls could Talk”. \nTake a trip back in time guided by the colourful characters who lived and worked in this row of Tudor houses. Immerse yourself in fascinating facts and gory stories while you explore the many rooms with a serving maid\, or an undertaker\, a Puritan Mayor or other larger than life characters from the past 600 years. The Tour Guides will be dressed in costume\, representing a real person connected to the building. \nBe one of the first to explore these houses which were closed for several years! Walk on the squeaky floorboards and smell the history!\nGloucester Civic Trust have taken over this amazing and unique row of three Tudor houses from the City Council and want to bring life back into the buildings and keep them safe for future generations. \nYou will also hear about our plans as this will no longer be a museum but an exhibition and events space and a centre for the local community. \nPlease note that the Tour takes about 90 minutes. There are many steps and staircases so this tour is not suitable for people with limited mobility. \nThe Café will be open so please come a bit early and support our efforts to keep these beautiful buildings open by buying a cup of tea or coffee before the Tour as the Introduction to the Tour usually starts here.

SUMMARY:There's a Tiger in the Garden
DESCRIPTION:Bored at home with nothing to do\, Nora is sent out to play in the garden in search of a tiger. Have your imaginations at the ready as our story unfolds and we see Nora’s world grow around her. \nFollowing sold out\, highly acclaimed tours\, Flock Theatre Makers will be bringing their musical-theatre adaptation of Lizzy Stewart’s award-winning children’s book ‘There’s a Tiger in the Garden’ to Blackfriars Priory this Autumn. \nUsing puppetry\, imaginative design and music – audiences are invited to join Nora as she discovers dragonflies as big as her head\, plants that can eat you (and your toy giraffe) whole\, a polar bear that likes fishing and maybe\, just maybe\, a tiger in the garden. Exploring the power of the imagination\, we invite families to follow Nora as she discovers the wonders hidden beyond the shrubbery. Come and enjoy the brilliance of this story brought to life. \nWorking closely with the author\, this much loved book has been turned into a theatre piece which promises fun for all the family. \nThe café will be open before the show for snacks and drinks. Only food and drink purchased on the premises may be consumed onsite. \nThe show will last approximately 45 minutes\, with 15 minutes at the end for children to meet the puppets. The show timings are 11am and 2:30pm. \nAll tickets £12.50.
