Tourist information

Chichester District has so much to offer, whether you are visiting for a day, enjoying a short break or touring the English south coast. The city offers shopping, restaurants, cinema, galleries and a cathedral.

It is home to the internationally-renowned Festival Theatre, relaunched in 2014 following a £22m refurbishment and in 2012, the newly built Chichester District Museum called The Novium opened, situated in Tower Street, a stone's throw from Chichester Cathedral.

In addition, many famous events take place close by, such as racing at Goodwood and polo at Cowdray Park, Midhurst. The city is surrounded by some of Britain's finest beaches, is on the doorstep of the Southdown's National Park and is close to Chichester Harbour, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The historic market towns of Midhurst and Petworth are also only a short distance away.
