Event Navigation
The Diocese of Gloucester, Barnwood Trust, Gloucestershire African Community Foundation and Gloucester Cathedral have come together to organise FestivALL, a celebration of inclusive community across the county and beyond.
The FestivalALL is about relationship and aims to both nurture and celebrate community. FestivALL aims to bring people together across the county and beyond to celebrate inclusive community over a month long period, from May 17-June 17th. It will be an opportunity for people to learn about the community in which they live and work, build relationships and strengthen networks.
We are inviting organisations to come together and be part of this Festival by either holding a local community event, or being involved in the two day launch at Gloucester Cathedral. Find out more at www.festivall.org
