regeneration schemes in Gloucester’s recent history, The Forum is already playing a central role in attracting investment, businesses and visitors into the city centre.

Business leaders, project partners and civic figures gathered to celebrate the official opening of The Forum, marking a major milestone in Gloucester’s ongoing regeneration.
Hosted by Reef + Partners and Gloucester City Council, the event welcomed guests from across the city and beyond to celebrate the completion of the landmark £107m mixed-use development in the heart of Gloucester, giving them the opportunity to reflect on the transformational impact The Forum has had on the city and the part it will play in Gloucester’s future.


Mayor of Gloucester, Cllr Ashley Bowkett, who officially cut the ribbon said: “I want to thank everyone who has helped bring The Forum to this point, the many people across many years who worked through the detail so that we could stand here today and celebrate the result.
The real success of this place will be seen in the years ahead: in the businesses that grow here, the visitors who return here, the young people who find work here, and the confidence it helps spread through the rest of the city centre.
As Mayor of Gloucester, I am delighted to mark the official opening of The Forum”
