Everything from the last three months

We gather these listings from venues' and organisers' own websites and update them every day. Times, prices and tickets can change at short notice, so confirm details with the organiser before you travel. Last updated 4 November at 1:29 am.

Chichester's main venues

The town's main venues and organisers. Follow the links for their full programmes, tickets and access information.

Chichester Festival Theatre: plays and musicals in the Festival Theatre and the Minerva.
Pallant House Gallery: exhibitions, talks and workshops.
Chichester Cathedral: concerts, services and exhibitions.
The Novium: exhibitions and family events at the museum.
Chichester City Council's events: civic and community events in the city.

How we list events

Every event on this page comes from the organiser's or venue's own website: we read their listings once a day and link back to them, so you can book or check details at the source. We do not copy listings from what's-on websites or social media, and nobody pays to be listed. Some venues' websites cannot be read automatically; their programmes are linked above instead, and we add them here as soon as we can read them.

Something missing?

If you run a venue or organise events in Chichester and would like them listed, use our contact form with a link to your events page.
