SUMMARY:Light Eternal by Luxmuralis
DESCRIPTION:Light Eternal: Yesterday\, Today\, Forever \nThis autumn\, you’re invited to come and experience Gloucester Cathedral like never before. Light Eternal: Yesterday\, Today\, Forever will take visitors on a journey that delves into the Cathedral’s 1000-year-long history\, examining its breathtaking architecture and stained glass\, as well as its more recent life as a famous filming location. From scripture adorning the walls of the Cloister through to choral music sheets illuminating the Quire\, there will be spectacles around every corner\, accompanied by a beautiful bespoke soundtrack. \nThe installation has been created by the world-renowned projection art gallery\, Luxmuralis\, which is a collaborative team combining artists from different backgrounds and disciplines. It is a brand-new show\, completely unique to Gloucester Cathedral\, that promises to ignite the imaginations of visitors from the moment they step inside the building. \nEntry to the event is by 15 minute time slots. First entry will be at 6.15pm and last entry will be at 8.45pm\, with the event ending at 10pm. We ask that you book a timed entry slot in advance\, but you are welcome to stay and enjoy the installation for as long as you like! To book your ticket\, please click ‘Book Now’. \nGeneral Admission: \n£9.50 per adult \n£6 per child (6-17 years\, under 6s go free) \nVIP Experience: \nIf you want to make your experience even more memorable\, VIP tickets are available. These will give you fast-track entry to the building avoiding any queues\, as well as access to the historic Tribune Gallery and Bridge Chapel which are located high above the Quire and Lady Chapel. From here\, you’ll have an unparalleled\, exclusive view of the installation and amazing photo opportunities with a glass of fizz or a non-alcoholic drink to complete your evening. \n£20 per adult \n£15 per child (6-17 years\, under 6s go free) \n*Please note that due to the nature of this medieval building\, the Tribune Gallery can only be accessed via a narrow spiral staircase and therefore regrettably there is no level access to this VIP experience. \n  \nFind out more here – https://gloucestercathedral.org.uk/whats-on/light-eternal-by-luxmuralis

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.
