Pam Ayres: Doggedly Onward', with Pam Ayres

National treasure and Britains best-loved poet Pam Ayres brings her trademark wit and warmth to a life well lived.

From stories of a rural Oxfordshire childhood to Royal Command performances, her heart remains in the Cotswolds countryside - muddy lanes, loyal dogs and village life.

By turns hilarious and deeply touching, her reflections on family, fame and fortitude create a vivid social history of modern Britain, resilient, eccentric and full of laughter.In conversation with fellow Cotswold lover Mark Cummings.Purchase the brand new range of Gloucester History Festival merchandise when ordering your tickets and receive FREE postage and packing (valid until 12th April 2026).Accessibility Notice: All seats in rows Q-Y are tiered seating and are accessible only via stairs.
