The highly anticipated, award-winning Gloucester Tall Ships festival is returning this weekend.
It is taking place over Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee Weekend and there is an impressive line-up of tall ships ready to delight the crowds.
The event is free to attend and organisers are expecting hundreds of thousands of people to visit the Gloucester Quays.
Not only will there be a flotilla of tall ships, there will also be a lot on offer for families to enjoy a day out. From a vintage fun-fair, sand sculptures and traders to live music and street performers, food stalls and maritime entertainment.
This year, organisers have introduced the £5 boarding pass, which gives access to climb onboard the ships. You will then be able to meet the sailing teams and go beneath the decks to explore the living and working quarters.
Gloucester City Council's Andrew Lewis, the portfolio holder for Cultural Services, said: “We can’t wait to be back at the iconic Gloucester Quays amongst the crowds of families and friends who have long-awaited the return of the festival.
"We’ve got a fantastic line-up of Tall Ships coming from across the globe, including the TS Irene built in Brigwater 1907 and TS Anny of Charlestown built in Denmark 1930.
"It’s an absolutely spectacular programme of free entertainment showcasing the best of Gloucester’s maritime history.”
