Fans of flamboyant interiors, bold aesthetics and larger-than-life personalities are in for a treat as Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen headlines the Gloucester History Festival tomorrow (Saturday, April 26) at 6pm, in conversation with festival president and cultural historian Professor Janina Ramirez.

Fresh from his role as guest judge on the BBC's Interior Design Masters, Llewelyn-Bowen dives deep into the drama and decadence of 18th-century Rococo and Baroque — eras that continue to inspire his distinctive style. Expect a dazzling and witty hour of design secrets, unapologetic glamour, and clever tips for bringing historical flair into modern homes.

Whether you're obsessed with interiors, love Laurence's flair for theatricality, or just want to be thoroughly entertained, this is a must-see event. Join the audience in Gloucester or watch from home via livestream.

Tickets are available now: £14 in person / £6 livestream and on demand at gloucesterhistoryfestival.co.uk
