Come and explore this historic 950-year-old Cathedral whose spire dominates the horizon for miles around.

Chichester Cathedral is both a living church and the Mother Church of the Diocese, stretching nearly a hundred miles along England’s south coast between East and West Sussex. The Cathedral boasts a celebrated musical heritage, from the Cathedral Choir, which offers eight sung services each week, to connections with esteemed composers such as Leonard Bernstein and Gustav Holst. The Cathedral also plays host to a popular lunch-time concert series (Tuesdays during term-time, 1.10pm), as well as many high-quality musical performances by choirs, orchestras and chamber groups.

Celebrating 950 years of Chichester Cathedral and the Diocese of Chichester, Chichester950 marks the relocation of the Cathedral from Selsey to the more populous town of Chichester (formerly Roman Noviomagus) in 1075. Chichester950 offers a vibrant and inclusive events programme, inviting visitors to explore the Cathedral’s rich nine-century history. Highlights include an interactive exhibition, concert, summer festival and immersive light show.
