This summer a huge range of events will come together under the Festival of Chichester banner, embracing another rich and varied five weeks of arts and community fun.
The festival comprises over 130 independently organised events across many genres taking place between 14 June and 20 July 2025.
Join us for a talk by local historian and author Alan Green on Tuesday, 29 April 2025, at Freelands Fairground.
It has been one year since we adopted the City Council Plan, and we would like to invite you to the Annual Parish Meeting to update you on our progress.
This meeting will also cover local government reform and its potential impact on our city’s future.
