About Gloucester
- Gloucester Cathedral, which has been the seat of the Bishop of Gloucester since 1541, contains one of the most important collections of medieval stained glass in Britain — including the Great East Window, installed around 1350 and one of the largest medieval stained glass windows in the world. The cathedral is also famous as the burial place of King Edward II, who was murdered at Berkeley Castle in 1327, and whose tomb became a major pilgrimage destination in the medieval period, generating the wealth that funded the rebuilding of the choir in the Perpendicular Gothic style — one of the earliest examples of this distinctively English architectural style. The cloisters, with their fan vaulting, were used as a filming location for the Harry Potter films.
- Gloucester Docks, the inland port at the head of the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, were the most inland port in Britain when they were built in the early 19th century — a complex of warehouses, dry docks, and wharves that handled grain, timber, and other goods from the Bristol Channel and the wider world. The docks, which were built between 1812 and 1827, are now a heritage and leisure destination, with the Victorian warehouses converted into restaurants, shops, and museums, including the National Waterways Museum. The Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, which connects the docks to the Severn Estuary, is one of the widest and deepest ship canals in Britain.
- The Three Choirs Festival, held alternately in Gloucester, Hereford, and Worcester, is the oldest choral festival in the world — an event that has been held annually since around 1715 and that brings together the choirs of the three cathedrals for a week of concerts, services, and events. The festival, which was the venue for the premieres of works by Elgar, Vaughan Williams, and Holst, is one of the most important events in the British musical calendar and attracts audiences from across the country and the world. The Gloucester festival, held every three years, is one of the highlights of the city's cultural life.
