To extend this year’s Grhyme Festival, we have decided to add dates and increase the number of speakers. The series of talks (The Glos-sary) will feature Writers, Artists and Creatives whose work I’ve either stumbled across or whom I have met personally. Either way they have been invited to Gloucester as they have inspired me with their work, their tales of perseverance and their success. The evenings will be hosted by Gloucester’s Georgia Williams a talented Artist and Creative in her own right, so without further ado I’d like to introduce you to this year’s host and guest speakers.
Dates
Every Wednesday from 7th October to 11th November 2026, 18:00–20:30, Gloucester Guildhall. Each evening starts with Jamaican cuisine and ends with a Q&A. Performances by young local poets, with more guest speakers to be confirmed.
