Festival of Chichester 2024 dates

The 2024 festival will run from Saturday 15 June to Sunday 21 July.

The Festival of Chichester is a month-long celebration of the arts running from mid-June to mid-July each year in the historic city of Chichester.

For much of June and July each year, the Festival of Chichester brings around 100 events to the city, from classical concerts to theatre to a whole range of talks, poetry and guided walks.

In 2024 we will be presenting a truly exciting and varied line-up over 5 weeks, combining 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 and there really is something for everyone.

Grounded in the Chichester community, the festival aspires to the stars. We are pleased to welcome both local and international performers of the highest calibre.
