The county of Gloucestershire is preparing to mark Gloucestershire Day on Sunday, 21 September 2025, in a celebration of its landscape, history, communities, and culture.
Though the full programme of events for the county-wide celebration is still being confirmed, various councils and community groups are encouraging people to share what they love most about Gloucestershire—from the rolling Cotswolds and wild countryside to local traditions, historic landmarks, and neighbourly spirit.
How you can take part
Residents and groups are being asked to share photos, stories, and memories using the hashtag #GloucestershireDay25. Organisers say they want to highlight everything that makes the county special, including historic buildings, local crafts, green spaces, and community heroes.
Officials also suggest sharing memories of childhood places, favourite walks, local festivals, or anything that makes Gloucestershire “home”. Many hope that this social media sharing will help connect communities and show pride in what the county has to offer.
Why it matters
Supporters say Gloucestershire Day isn’t just about celebration—it also offers an opportunity to promote tourism, boost local businesses, and strengthen community bonds.
By highlighting what makes Gloucestershire unique, the event intends to draw attention to lesser-known corners of the county, encourage local pride, and ensure that cultural heritage continues to be preserved and celebrated.
