Gloucestershire 1000
April 2007 saw the beginning of an exciting programme of events to celebrate Gloucestershire’s 1000th year as a county. With highlights including Gloucestershire Dance 1000, a millennium ale, a celebratory Cathedral Service attended by HRH The Duke of Gloucester, the planting of 1000 Trees by school children, TV personalities and HRH The Prince of Wales, a new Gloucestershire flag, the Bishop’s Pilgrimage and The Great Gloucestershire Tree Party, there is no doubt that the year will be remembered for more than its wet summer.
Gloucestershire 1000 has now come to its conclusion but we hope you had an opportunity to experience some of the exhibitions, workshops, parties, performances or events this year, all reflecting the range of traditions, cultures and communities that thrive across our county.
All this would not have been possible without the support of our sponsors Gloucestershire County Council, the University of Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire Media and Gloucestershire First. Anyone wishing to know more about other related events at the University of Gloucestershire can contact:
