Gloucester Day was begun to celebrate the lifting of the Siege of Gloucester in 1643 during the Civil War.

Eventually it fell into disuse until 2009 when, as the result of much initiative and hard work by Alan Myatt (the Town Cryer, abv), it was reborn as a celebration of Gloucester, it's people and heritage.
