Rugby may have put Gloucester firmly on the sporting map, but for activities  in general, Gloucester has got it all.

Kingsholm, in the city itself, is the proud home of Gloucester  Rugby Club.  In today's professional era, this is where the famous Cherry and  Whites parade their star names to take on the best Rugby Union teams in Europe.   With one of the best attendance records of all clubs, there's always a terrific  atmosphere. Visit www.gloucesterrugbyclub.com to  find out more.

If Rugby isn't your scene, why not try something completely  different that will really get your pulse racing like The Warehouse Climbing  Centre with its indoor climbing wall, or the Gloucester Ski and Snowboard  Centre.  Both venues cater for all levels of ability, including novices, and are  huge fun for all ages. 

During the summer one of the most pleasurable ways of spending  the day is on the picturesque Archdeacon meadows where the Gloucester Cricket  Festival takes place.

Here you'll see the best of first class cricket in a setting and  atmosphere just made for the reassuring sounds of leather on willow.
