A massive regeneration programme is now creating a new chapter in the history of Gloucester, building upon its world-class heritage and releasing its potential as a city for the 21st century.

Over the four-day event, local schools, businesses and the general public dropped into Blackfriars Priory to see up to date development plans, talk to some of the developers and find out how they could benefit from the new jobs, opportunities and homes in the pipeline.
