SUMMARY:May The Toys Be With You
DESCRIPTION:The force is strong at the Museum of Gloucester!\nOn Saturday 24 June 2023\, from a galaxy far\, far away comes an absolute must see for fans of Star Wars and the silver screen… \nOne of the UK’s finest collections of vintage Star Wars toys and original cinema posters is going to go on display in a stunning exhibition brought to you by the Museum of Gloucester. \nBack in 1977 when the movie Star Wars broke box office records\, no one could have predicted that the merchandising would go on to earn even more than the film itself. The toys and merchandise of the film took the world by storm and became the must-have playthings for an entire generation. From 1977 to 1985\, an estimated 300 million action figures were sold\, allowing children to re-enact the adventures of Luke Skywalker\, Princess Leia and Han Solo. \nMay The Toys Be With You is both a celebration of the now highly collectable vintage toy line and also of the iconic design work and art of the Star Wars movies. From X-Wing Fighters to lightsabers\, these fantastical designs have fired our imaginations and stamped their place on our cultural landscape. For little kids and ‘big kids’ alike\, this is an unmissable opportunity to view many rarely seen Star Wars treasures. This exhibition has broken visitor attendance records at a host of museums around the country and we’re now getting excited for its visit to Gloucester. \nThe exhibition runs from Saturday 24 June until Saturday 30 September 2023 – please see the museum website for all opening hours. On Saturday 24 June\, please note that we are also inviting the fabulous Gloucestershire Troopers to ‘open’ the exhibition for us and be around the city centre welcoming visitors to Gloucester and the museum itself on the opening day…why not put your best Sar Wars inspired outfit on and join us for this exciting day! \nBooking tickets online in advance is essential to secure your place to see this exhibition! \nAdults – £6 | Seniors – £4.50 | Ages 18-25 – £3.50 | Under 18s – £2.50.

SUMMARY:Business Safety in a Digital World
DESCRIPTION:This session will focus on the threat posed by cyber criminals\, who pose on of the main threats to businesses but about whom most of us know very little. \nWe’ll look at the extent and reality of attacks based on latest available data\, and we’ll run through some of the simple measures that can make an enormous difference to your security. \nThe session will be led by Simon Williams\, of Gloucestershire police\, who is the force’s dedicated Cyber Protect officer\, and by Mark Moore of the South West Cyber Resilience Centre. \nThe Centre is an initiative supported by regional policing to provide free and ongoing support to local businesses and charities\, and we’ll explore what’s available for you and your teams\, and how to access it. \nThis should be a great opportunity to find out about all the things you weren’t taught at school\, from independent sources with no vested interest in selling to you. \nMark Moore is a serving superintendent from the Devon and Cornwall Police\, running the Cyber Resilience Centre on behalf of the region’s forces. Previously a force digital leader\, he has spent almost three years growing the operation to the point where it now supports almost a thousand regional businesses. Simon Williams is Gloucestershire Police’s Cyber Protect officer\, with responsibility for helping communities and organisations of all types to stay safe from digital threats. Both are passionate about what they do\, and are keen to demystify the sometimes bewildering – and often expensive – world of cyber. \nTeas/Coffees and Bacon Baps will be provided.

SUMMARY:Folk Talks - Jack in the Green
DESCRIPTION:JACK IN THE GREEN The Revival of an Old May Day Tradition In 2015 an attempt was made to revive one of England’s oldest folk customs. Some say The Jack in the Green dates back to pagan times\, no-one knows for sure. What is certain was that this colourful custom accompanied by a parade of extravagantly dressed chimney sweeps was alive and flourishing in England in the 18th\, 19th and early 20th centuries. Through video and song we follow the story of this audacious attempt to bring this peculiar British custom back to the streets of Gloucestershire whilst learning about other strange English customs that continue to this very day.
