The Festival of Chichester is a registered charity that, every year, provides the professional infrastructure for a month of wide-ranging cultural events across a wide variety of genres.
The organisers are a committee of unpaid volunteers. In addition, it is thanks to the generosity of our many supporters that the festival has managed to thrive since 2013.
We are committed to keeping the fees for participants to put on an event with us as low as possible. We do not take a percentage of ticket sales, receiving just a small fee per event. (Read more on our take part pages).
We have core costs for which we need to secure funding, such as the festival launch event, updating the website, and – most significantly – the design, printing and distribution of the events brochure and associated marketing materials.
