Gloucester Docks is a vibrant historic waterfront area that was developed after the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal Company received an Act of Parliament in 1793 to build a new dock and ship canal. Today it is a place to live, work and visit, with museums, shops, and places to eat, including the Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum and the neighbouring Gloucester Quays shopping centre.
Weekend Christmas markets with more than 120 traders in wooden chalets and stalls selling festive gifts, local food and street food across Gloucester Quays and the historic docks.
Free outdoor activity trail with seven puzzle stations around the Gloucester Docks, centred on Mariners Church, with a hot chocolate and prize for completing all clues.
