Came here with my three year old on a saturday. She loved looking at the planes and getting to play in the various different plane cockpits. The ticketed tours of the larger planes are well worth it as well, staff are friendly and informative and for free admission and parking it's well worth a visit.

Being a friend of nature in art i tend to visit quite often and always find something new to see. The wildlife photographic exhibitions are always good There is a nice cafe and 1 or 2 visiting artists to see and talk too. There is often a guest speaker as well, these usually have a buffet. Really good. For me personally it is only a few miles away. Well worth a visit, whatever's the month

Attended the concert to celebrate the life of Damon T, a wonderful evening of good music. So nice to get out and hear some live performance. Felt very safe with the excellently distanced, precooked pitches. Even had gazebos up,so the rain wasn’t a problem. Staff very welcoming and helpful, waiter service with ordering by App easy to use too. Definitely go again
8. House of The Tailor of Gloucester - Beatrix Potter Shop and Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 98 reviews
Reviewed By ladyjane_10 - Derby, United Kingdom
Visited this tiny little house in Gloucester during a day trip with some friends. It stands in a narrow alley close to Gloucester cathedral. It is said to be the original house where the Tailor of Goucester lived and worked which Beatrix Potter based her TALE OF THE THE TAILOR OF GLOUCESTER on. A very tiny two roomed old house packed to the rafters with memorabilia of the story and a gift shop selling all sorts of souvenirs relating to Beatrix Potters tales. Loved it. Free entry but only holds a small number of people at a time due to size of rooms.
