FESTIVAL OF CHICHESTER 2020
13 June – 12 July
The Festival of Chichester is delighted to announce a truly exciting and varied festival line-up of over 200 events for summer 2020. This combines a brilliant programme of classical music with the best in jazz, blues, folk, rock, pop and world music.
Add thrilling theatre, book events, talks and poetry, exhibitions, walks, tours, cinema, open days and galas – these annual Chichester festivities really do offer something for everyone.
Grounded in the local community, this Chichester festival aspires to the stars. We’re pleased to welcome local and international performers of the highest calibre – including Kate Mosse, Jess Gillam with the London Mozart Players, the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and Dame Penelope Keith – to our historic city. We’re delighted to have the continuing support of our distinguished Festival Patron too, Dame Patricia Routledge (pictured).
Events take place all over West Sussex’s county city and in the surrounding South Downs National Park, at locations and venues from Chichester Cathedral to West Dean Gardens. With Chichester Festival Theatre, Goodwood House and many other attractions on hand, it’s a great time to visit.
