It hardly seems possible that this is our fifth Festival of Chichester. But then again, we have come a long, long way since we held a public meeting in late 2012 to see whether there was any interest in staging a new-look, new-feel festival for the city the following summer. The answer was an emphatic yes.

MUSIC - CLASSICAL

Since then, we have been delighted to pull together an annual month-long arts and community extravaganza featuring all the performers, writers, artists, thinkers, groups, clubs, associations, choirs and orchestras that make Chichester so rich and vibrant a city. Our festival has become a true reflection of Chichester’s cultural importance, and we are thrilled that over the years we have also started to entice an increasingly attractive range of artists and performers from further afield, all keen to see just what it is that makes Chichester so special. The festival is brought to you by a hard-working committee which meets every month to make sure all our plans come together for a golden explosion of feel-good community fun. But our success heightens everyone’s expectations, and so we are delighted to count once again on the fantastic, enthusiastic support of the Chichester Observer series. We are also privileged to receive funding once again from Chichester City Council, a council which serves the city so well.

The Festival committee is: John Ashley, Anthony Cane, Jill Cook, Felicity Course, Phil Hewitt, Barry Smith, Rebecca Robertson, Anne Scicluna and Helen Watt.
