Festival 2025 has officially arrived, and we hope it was well worth the wait. Critics have hailed our opening show, The Government Inspector, as 'a winning start to the 2025 season' (Portsmouth News). Hot on its heels, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry has been called 'a pitch-perfect musical' (The Times).
Anna Karenina rehearsals are well underway and we're so excited to go behind the scenes to give audiences a sense of the epic production we have in store.
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
From the intimate setting of the Minerva Theatre, audiences of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry embark on an epic adventure across Britain, guided by a cast of exceptional singers, dancers, and storytellers.
Following press night, the reviews are pouring in and it's been called 'one of the most beautiful, the most powerful and the most poignant evenings the Minerva has ever seen' (Chichester Observer).


Anna Karenina
Come into the Anna Karenina rehearsal room with our brand new behind the scenes videos. This show is going to take audiences into the shadowy and sensual world of a heart racing love affair. Think scandal, passion and betrayal, complete with lavish costumes and a decadent set.
See what the cast have to say about this unmissable theatrical experience.
Catch them in action in the new rehearsal photos, with the full gallery available over on the show page.

Marie and Rosetta
Marie and Rosetta opened last week at Rose Theatre in Kingston to glowing reviews, and we just can't wait to have it here in Chichester from 25 June - 26 July. 'Beverley Knight and Ntombizodwa Ndlovu are powerhouse performers' (Theatre and Tonic) in this unforgettable true story. 'Soul-stirring, celebratory and foot-tappingly uplifting' (The Spy In The Stalls).
Tickets are extremely limited but do keep an eye out for returns.
