The Garden Festival

About our events

Thu 30 Jul - Sun 2 Aug

Across four easy-going summer days, Victoria Gardens transforms into something Tewkesbury’s never quite seen before — part theatre, part hangout, part mini escape.

Enjoy FREE children's activities and workshops throughout the day, then stay for an open air theatre performance for only £5 - £20. It's the perfect way to spend time with your family.

At The Garden Festival, there’s live music drifting through the trees, street food worth lingering over and a bar that turns the whole thing into a proper summer occasion.

Dip into a show, stumble across something unexpected or stretch out in the sun and let the day unfold…

Enjoy FREE children's activities and workshops throughout the day, then stay for an evening performance as the sun sets. It's the perfect way to make the most of those magical midsummer evenings.

To make the most of your day, we recommend bringing something to sit on, such as a picnic blanket or folding chair, so you can relax comfortably throughout the festival.
