Jason Smith, Chief Executive of festival organisers Marketing Gloucester, said: “We are delighted to bring this fantastic zip wire to Gloucester Docks for this year’s festival. What better way to see the stunning waterfront in all its glory than in the air on this 1,000ft zip wire?”

 

“Judging by the success of the zip wire in the city centre last year, tickets are sure to go fast for this attraction, so we would advise people to book early to avoid disappointment.”

The zip wire is one of many activities taking place at the award-winning festival including awe-inspiring tall ships, Industry Pro wakeboarding championships and a superhero-style Gravity Jet Suit display.

Organisers say children and adults will love the giant battle ships, have a go circus and BMX riding or say they could try their hand at climbing and caving or take in a swashbuckling pirate show.

They promise that there will also be live music on throughout the three days and many food and drink stalls at the site too.
