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:Steampunks of Gloucestershire
DESCRIPTION:This Summer our Steampunk Festival celebrates characters from Quartermain\, Fogg\, and van Helsing to Randolph and John Carter\, to Holmes and Adèle Blanc-Sec\, and all those other extraordinary gentlefolk.\n\nAs well as our Market full of intriguing and beautiful objects there will be a whole host of Talks\, activities for all the kids and our Usual Cafe and Bar open to enjoy fun in the Sun.\n\nThe Great thing is that it’s free!!\n\n\nWhat is Steampunk?\nSteampunk is a celebration of the 19thc origins of Science Fiction.\n\nAlthough the name “Steampunk” is 20th century\, the style and form of Steampunk goes back to the earliest 19th-century authors who created the genre of Science Fiction. Those first authors were writing in the dawn light of the Industrial Revolution\, a time of infinite possibilities and infinite change. As time went on their fiction became not only speculation but inspiration\, and warnings\, to future generations.

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.
