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
2. Llanthony Secunda Priory
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13 reviews
Llanthony Secunda Priory was a medieval priory; a few of the remaining buildings have recently been renovated and these rooms are now used to host events and private functions. Llanthony's grounds are open to the public and free to visit throughout the year, closing only for special events. We open the buildings on the first Sunday of each month for our Open Days, and host a number of public events throughout the year.

Fascinating to be able to look behind the scenes of the Brick Range and Medieval Range as the large conservation project continues. It revealed "900 years of history" with high visibility jackets and hard hats (provided) being required. Sensible boots or shoes also necessary. Tour was guided by one of the leaders of the building team working on the Priory who was able to answer questions as well as providing a potted history. Great to be able to see the stripped back skeleton of the building as well as being able to imagine its future when being used by the adjacent college. Appears to be open at odd times in the year as well as when it is part of Heritage Open Days or History Festivals. The Llanthony Secunda Priory Trust can be contacted to ascertain future events which permit access to what is usually restricted by being a working building site.
3. Eastgate Viewing Chamber

The Eastgate Viewing Chamber located outside Boots on Eastgate (next to the shopping centre of the same name), contains Roman, Norman and Civil War ruins spanning nearly 2,000 years of history. Discovered during the construction of the boots shop in the 1970's, the viewing chamber was build so passers-by can view the ruins through glass from the streets above, or as we did, you can book onto a £5 tour given by a Roman Centurion of the underground chamber itself. Tours are only now given on Saturday afternoons in summer, bookable through the town museum. Excellent tour, packed with history and humour by knowledgeable local guide. The highlight of our weekend away in Gloucester.
