Gloucester Tall Ships Festival 2024

Get ready to Rock the Dock! The Tall Ships Festival 2024 is sailing into Gloucester Docks this year with a brand-new look, a brilliant line up of live music, and of course more fantastic tall ships.

The 25-27 May will see our magnificent return to Gloucester Docks with a revamped and vibrant experience for all! The iconic tall ships will be taking centre stage but this year’s focus also expands to include live music, immersive performances, and a deep dive into the adventures that have taken place in the Docks across its nearly 200-year history!

Among the confirmed tall ships are Phoenix, which recently featured in Ridley Scott’s blockbuster film Napoleon; Grayhound, which will be returning from the Caribbean with exotic cargo; Spirit of Falmouth, which will be sailed to Gloucester by retired Armed Forces veterans; and Irene, which has featured in films such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Alice Through The Looking Glass.

Tickets for this year’s event go on sale on Thursday 25 January. You can choose between Sea Legs tickets, permitting access to the festival site and on board the famous tall ships, or a Land Lubbers ticket, for those who would like to access the festival site, but not board the ships.

Prices range from £8 - £19, and can be purchased from the Tall Ships website. 

Your high seas adventure awaits!
