Hi <<First Name>>- This week, Gloucester will be filled with emerging music, and a Game of Thrones star, as well as eclectic theatre and dance: playing host to both the Underground Festival and Strike A Light Festival. There's also a fistful of folk in Stroud, a chance to appear on stage in Cheltenham, and a fantastic Forest Showcase competition. Plus, see which local eateries made The Good Food Guide.
