A huge thank you to our Sponsors & Partners

I scream, you scream, we all scream for … Gloucester Tall Ships Festival, and we are thrilled to announce that Wall’s Ice Cream have sponsored the Crane Stage at this year’s event. 



Some of you may know, but many may not, that those delicious Wall’s Ice Creams we have all enjoyed for decades are made in Gloucester, and as such the perfect fit to sponsor our Crane Stage which will be nestled on the dockside, hosting a range of brilliant local artists and performances.  



Angela Seddon, Community Liaison and Communications Officer for Walls said,   “Wall’s are proud to have been making ice cream in Gloucester for over 60 years and are delighted to sponsor the Crane Stage at this year’s Tall Ships Festival.  


 Our iconic ice creams are the Makers of Happiness, and this festival is a fantastic way to bring the people of Gloucestershire and beyond together for a great weekend full of happiness.”
