New Ventures Exhibition

Organised by : Chichester Cathedral

From 1976 to the opening of 2025s The Nest, Chichester Festival Theatre has experimented with temporary performance spaces providing freedom and opportunity to emerging artists and new experiences to Chichester audiences.

The Festival team have unearthed the hidden history of these theatrical moments and spaces with the help of a super team of volunteers, in a new exhibition: The New Ventures.

This exhibition is a celebration of resourcefulness and improvisation and delves into the influence of third spaces on CFTs history and future.  Resonating in all the stories shared are experiences of opportunity and hard work, as well as an energising shared purpose to try something new, take risks, and of course revel in the joy of theatre!
