FestivALL is a month (July) dedicated to celebrating the diverse and welcoming communities in Gloucestershire.

We first got involved in 2020. Various events happened across the county.. WRITE UP YOUR STREET had an event, “Lifted!” in Montipellier Gardens, Cheltenham.

In 2021 things had to be different practically, but the message remained still the same. The focus all about linking up, celebrating and building connections, on and offline, and making sure that everyone is included in some way. During the Covid-19 pandemic people have been finding different and creative ways of keeping in touch with friends, family and neighbours and we want to celebrate this. We asked people across Gloucestershire to make their own paper chains, and either display them in a window for their friends and neighbours to see, or share a picture online (or both!)

This year, 2021, FestivALL is run by Megan Paul from You’re Welcome. Gloucestershire’s Inclusive Online Community Space. With the lifting of restrictions after an uncertain year, now is the time to reconnect with nature. Whether you are more comfortable online or would like to get over to Gloucester’s Robinswood Hill, this year’s  FestivALL line up has something for everyone. It is jam-packed with inclusive events. Look out for news of our multisensory trail on the hill, online nature workshops, creative writing sessions, a picnic and chance for you to come and meet some of the most inclusive organisations across the county.
