Taking place from 10am until 4pm in all four streets of Chichester city centre, the vibrant street party organised by Chichester District Council promises something for everyone, bringing together live performances, hands-on activities, and exciting attractions for all ages. The event will also feature a bustling artisan market, offering unique, handmade goods from independent makers, ideal for discovering one-of-a-kind gifts and treats.

 Visitors can enjoy a programme of live music throughout the day, showcasing talented local performers and offering the perfect summer soundtrack. Families are at the heart of the celebration, with an incredible lineup of activities designed to entertain and inspire younger visitors. Highlights include face painting, magic shows and the chance to meet adorable alpacas.

 For those seeking action and creativity, the event will boast a Nerf arena, interactive LEGO building area, and a wide range of family games to keep everyone entertained on the Cathedral Green. Traditional funfair favourites, including carousels, and live performances from Theatre UK, will add to the festive atmosphere.
