Welcome Back!

Many of us are exploring closer to home at the moment, so why not experience Gloucester like it’s your first time in the City, whether you’re local or from further afield.

Now is the perfect time to visit somewhere new and try out the places you’ve always wanted to. Reacquaint yourself with favourite businesses and attractions and support your local economy.

Our shopping centres and independent stores have been open since June. They’re perfect for post-lockdown sprees, browsing or shopping for essentials.

No-one wants to be caught short when they’re out and about, so here are the places and times you can use public loos:

Eastgate Shopping Centre | Mon-Sat 9am-5.30pm | Sun 10.30am-4.30pm

Gloucester Quays | Mon-Sat 10am-6pm | Sun 10am-5pm

Gloucester Transport Hub | 7.30am-7.30pm

Westgate Car Park | 7am-7pm

Gloucester Park | 8.30am-3.45pm 

Our restaurants, pubs and bars can’t wait to serve you again. Table service and online ordering apps are a common sight so you can sit back and relax as your food and drink is brought to you!

Many of our enthralling attractions are open again for you to lose yourself in – including the magnificent cathedral and our fascinating museums. See what’s open.

You can enjoy Gloucester’s parks and open spaces including Alney Island Nature Reserve and Robinswood Hill Country Park where you can naturally social distance.

We also have some exciting events and festivals coming up which will help you see the city in a brand new light.

Our hotels and accommodation providers have been working hard to ensure that your stays are comfortable and safe.

We’re Good To Go – look out for the national mark on websites and windows. These businesses have been recognised for taking the utmost care before welcoming you back.

Know Before You Go – visit the business’ website before you make a trip. Attractions, pubs and restaurants may require you to book ahead online. They will also tell you what steps have been taken to ensure your safety.

Wear a face mask or covering – this is now the law if you’re shopping in an enclosed space; visiting a museum, gallery, cinema or a place of worship; taking public transport or in the station.

Keep your distance – Observe social distancing inside and outside. Keep 2 metres apart (or 1 metre + where this is not possible). Queues, one-way systems and reduced capacity may also be in place in some businesses.

Travelling safely – travel on foot and bike is recommended. If you’re driving, some car parks have cashless payment systems. If you have to take public transport, please wear a mask and observe social distancing.

Are you well? – If you are experiencing any coronavirus symptoms, or sharing a household or support bubble with somebody with symptoms, it is recommended that you do not travel.

Avoid peak times – this will help you avoid queues and put less pressure on the businesses.
