The Wurzels - Xmas Show!

The Wurzels bring their Christmas show to Gloucester Guildhall on Thursday 11 December, a few weeks before the big day. It's a proper festive night out in the city, and since it's a Christmas show, it's the kind of thing you'd book as a group rather than a solo trip.

Gloucester Guildhall is a venue with a bit of history behind it. It was built in 1890 and opened in 1892 on the site of Sir Thomas Rich's Blue Coat School, and a major refurbishment between 1985 and 1988 turned it into the room it is today, which still goes by the name 'The County's Liveliest Venue'. Over the years it's hosted national music acts like Radiohead, Muse, Primal Scream, Lily Allen, Pete Doherty and Ash, and comedians such as Frankie Boyle, Andy Parsons, Dara O'Brien and Jeremy Hardy. In January 2010 it won an award for 'Putting Gloucester On The Map'.

The show is on Thursday 11 December at Gloucester Guildhall, 23 Eastgate Street, Gloucester, GL1 1NS. Tickets start from £6, so it's one of those nights that doesn't cost much to get into. If you're planning to go, it's worth getting your tickets sorted early, especially if you're bringing a crowd.
