The festival runs for three days from the Saturday until Monday taking place on the last bank holiday in May. Gloucester City Council (the Authority) are inviting the successful supplier to decide if they would like to continue with this date or if they would like to move to the first bank holiday, based upon the availability of ships for both of these dates.

These are: Gloucester City Council, The Canal and River Trust and Peel Holdings. The premises licence is held by the Gloucester Docks Estate Company ( GDECL) a group made up of residential and business owners on the site.
