Festival of the Senses

Welcome to The World of Glostenbury

A Noir/Fantasy/Indie Tale of Music and Magic

In the neon-lit underbelly of a magical Gloucester, ley lines hum with power and voices are stolen. The World of Glostenbury is a noir/fantasy/indie novel where gritty detective Malt Shadowwhisper hunts for punk siren Jessa Quill’s lost voice before the Resonance Festival, a once-every-seven-years event where the singing stones roar and the veil thins. From the Dock's haunting whispers to Static Dive’s electric stage, this story reimagines Gloucester’s music scene and heritage through a lens of mystery and magic.

The Festival of the Senses (2026/2027) brings this vision to life, celebrating Gloucester’s creative energy with sensory experiences - sound, light, and ley-line magic. Picture a floating stage in Gloucester Docks, its fashion catwalk stretching over the water, where local talent perform under shimmering light shows that mimic the singing stones. Even without the magic, this vision embodies Gloucester’s distinct cultural identity, its Indie spirit, historic docks, and vibrant music scene, making it unmistakably our city. The festival will unite diverse communities, amplify young creatives, and make space for magical, music-driven events.

Together, my book and festival champion Gloucester’s cultural future by:

- Fostering Inclusivity: Engaging all communities through sensory magic that resonates with everyone.

- Supporting Creatives: Offering platforms for local artists to shine and earn in the city they love.

- Empowering Youth: Inspiring young people to pursue creative careers in Gloucester.

- Expanding Cultural Spaces: Creating new stages for events that connect people to their city.

- Dreaming Big: Transforming Gloucester into a fantasy magic hub where culture thrives.

Join me in shaping Gloucester’s cultural legacy - where ley lines unite us, and magic sings through every voice.
