I had been in the area previously but this was the first time that I found this museum open. It is an interesting small military museum over three levels. There is quite a range of history on show mostly about the Gloucester Regiment and the Royal Gloucester Hussars. The entry fee was modest at £5 for adults and concessions a pound less.

A tank in front sets the scene for an interesting account of two army regiments. With the aid of posters, colours, uniforms, paintings, and more their history, activity and duty in many parts of the world is told. One watercolour shows the Officers uniforms during their many years, from around 1694 till 1910,

We called here on our way home from holiday, the museum is a little gem. It’s packed full of information on the Gloucestershire regiments. Back this up with great displays of uniforms going back to the Napoleonic era right up to modern times and the units change of roles. Well worth the time to visit.

We as a family of 5 stopped here as part of our sightseeing of Gloucester. Our children range from 9 to 13. Firstly the entry fee family ticket 2 adults and 3 children was just £12 very good value. The museum itself is excellent. Extensive but accessible information. Great displays and good use of touchscreens and fun activities for all my children. Definitely worth a visit if you have an hour and a nice selection of gifts with many at pocket money prices. A great place and glad we went.
