Gala
Chichester Gala
Typically held in the beautiful setting of Priory Park, the Gala features live music and performances from talented local artists, alongside a lively funfair packed with classic rides. Food and drink stalls serve fresh local produce and indulgent treats to keep spirits high throughout the day.
Inside the Guildhall, visitors will find a charming vintage and artisan market, while across the park, stalls sell everything from handcrafted jewellery to children’s toys. Families can enjoy a wide range of attractions — from magicians and circus acts to the ever-popular crockery smash and a gleaming display of classic cars.
As a true celebration of local life, the Gala is also home to a diverse gathering of community organisations, each on hand to share what they do and how they serve the people of Chichester.
