We're excited about this event! Come and pay us a visit if you're in the city centre for Gloucester Goes Retro.

Who's Excited?! Gloucester Goes Retro returns in 5 days! 🥳🥳

One of the highlights of the city’s vibrant festival calendar, Gloucester Goes Retro features over 500 classic vehicles filling the historic Gate Streets and Gloucester Docks. You will find famous car brands from yesteryear including Aston Martin, Jensen, Bentley, Triumph, Morris and Alvis to name just a few. Incredible vehicles from the 1900s through the Roaring Twenties and the War Years to the gleaming chrome of the fifties, the iconic designs of the Swinging Sixties, sports cars from the eighties and an instant nostalgia hit from nineties classics.​

Learn some moves and dance along to some great sounds; build the sandcastle of your dreams; our hilarious street performers or enjoy some fabulous food. There is lots to experience at Gloucester Goes Retro.

With a live music stage, the classic car show across the Gate Streets and Kings Square on Sea taking you back to the classic seaside holiday, there is something for everyone!

This Saturday, 23 August!
