Annual Pedersen Gathering

Kingshill House Creative Centre, Dursley, Gloucestershire

The Annual Pedersen Gathering for 2025 will again be based at Kingshill House Creative Centre.

On the Saturday we will gather for tea and biscuits at 10am, then at approximately 10.30 will be conducted on a tour of the Pedersen sights in Dursley but Andrew Barton from the Dursley Heritage Centre.  We will return to Kingshill House for a ploughman’s buffet lunch followed by a visit to the cemetery to pay our respects at Mikael Pedersen’s grave.  At 3.30pm we return to base for a cream tea and a public display of the machines.

Following the display there will be a social evening with talks related to Pedersen.  The centre’s bar will be open from 10am to 9pm serving drinks, including tea and coffee and a pizza van will be visiting to supply us with food in the evening.  There is ample all-day parking available.
