DESCRIPTION:Be one of the first to explore this building which was 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. \nGuided tours are now available and tell the stories of the buildings themselves and the people who owned them or worked or lived in them during the last 600 years.  The tour guides will be dressed in costume\, representing a real person connected to the building. \nFind out why someone was hiding in the loft of the coal house\, or who received special dispensation from the Privy Council in the sixteenth century.  Hear the story about Bishop Hooper and the room he is reputed to have stayed in the night before he was burnt at the stake in 1555. \nWho owned and lived in these buildings during the Civil War and the Seige of Gloucester in 1643?  Who set up the largest pin making factory in Gloucester here in the 18th Century and exhibited their state-of-the-art machinery in the Great Exhibition in 19th Century?  Who was the very last baby to be born here in 20th Century?\nAnd –\nWhere was the witch’s bottle found? \nAll these questions will be answered during the tour. \nYou will also hear about our plans for the future of the buildings which will no longer be a museum but an exhibition and events space and a centre for the local community. \nNotes\nPlease note that the Tour takes about 90 minutes and costs £7 for adults\, £3 for children under16 (who must be accompanied by and adult).  There is a limit of 10 people on each tour.  Book now to avoid disappointment. \nAccess to the first and second floors is via staircases.  There is no lift access.  This means the tour is unsuitable for pushchairs\, users of wheelchairs and those 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.The Folk of Gloucester is managed by Gloucester Civic Trust Limited\nRegistered in England | Company No.01078805 | Charity No.264719\nRegistered Office: Bishop Hooper House\, 99-103 Westgate Street\, Gloucester\, GL1 2PG URL:https://www.gloucesterbid.uk/event/282981/2023-03-09/ LOCATION:The Folk of Gloucester\, 99-103 Westgate Street\, Gloucester\, Gloucestershire\, GL1 2PG\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Tour ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.gloucesterbid.uk/wp-content/uploads/Square-NLHF-logo.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230310 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230311 DTSTAMP:20240329T153723 CREATED:20230227T102017Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230227T104040Z UID:282919-1678406400-1678492799@www.gloucesterbid.uk SUMMARY:Fight Town Gloucester DESCRIPTION:Brought to you by Neilson Boxing. \n Friday March 10th 2023 – Times tbc\n GL1 Leisure Centre\, Gloucester\n £45 Standard | £65 Ringside | £75 Inner Ringside URL:https://www.gloucesterbid.uk/event/fight-town-gloucester/ LOCATION:GL1 Leisure Centre\, Bruton Way\, \, Gloucester\, GL1 1DT\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Exhibition/Show ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.gloucesterbid.uk/wp-content/uploads/GL1-Fight-Town-10.03.23-scaled.jpg GEO:51.8619702;-2.2385177 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=GL1 Leisure Centre Bruton Way Gloucester GL1 1DT United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Bruton Way\,:geo:-2.2385177,51.8619702 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230310T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230310T150000 DTSTAMP:20240329T153723 CREATED:20150107T143717Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150107T143717Z UID:274013-1678440600-1678460400@www.gloucesterbid.uk SUMMARY:Farmers Market DESCRIPTION:Visit Gloucester Farmers Market with stalls of local goodies by local people\, Support the city and enjoy the fruits of their labor and buy some yummy locally made produce.
