Chichester Cathedral is thrilled to announce details of TrinityFest on the Green, a free community event planned as part of its Chichester950 programme of activities, to mark its 950th anniversary.
TrinityFest will take place on Sunday 15th June 2025 and, coinciding with Fathers’ Day, it promises a fun-filled outing for all the family.
Everyone is invited to gather on the Cathedral Green where the fun will start at 11.00am and continue until 4.00pm. The festivities will showcase a variety of free family-friendly activities, live music and contributions from local creative partners.
Dean of Chichester, the Very Reverend Dr Edward Dowler, comments: This year’s anniversary celebrations would not be complete without a special opportunity to bring our local community together for a fun-filled day. Whether you’re a local family, or are simply planning a visit to our beautiful city – we warmly invite you to join us for our special celebratory service and subsequent festivities on the Cathedral Green.
Highlights of TrinityFest on the Green include:
- The official launch of the Festival of Chichester season, with speeches from the Festival Patron, celebrated author Kate Mosse CBE.
- Music performances throughout the day, including a Steel Pan Duo.
- Creative face-painting and crafts led by partners including Chichester Canal, Chichester Rotary Club and Chichester Festival Theatre.
- Free admission to all activities (food stalls excluded).
- No booking is required, and everyone is welcome to gather on the Green to enjoy the activities.
The day will begin with a special Trinity Sunday Service in the Cathedral at 10.00am, with The Rt Reverend Dr Martin Warner, Bishop of Chichester, bringing together the Chichester community for an inspiring and joyful service.
