Planning for the holidays can be tricky so we've popped everything that's happening here at CFT in one handy list below. And there's always lots more on our what's on for families page too!

What's on this Easter

Kicking off Festival 2026, gather your chiddlers to see Roald Dahl's unforgettable story come to life this Spring. Plus discover our other family friendly events.

We've got you covered this May half-term

We've got a busy calendar of non-stop fun this May half-term.  From Rabbit and Rey and the Lost Things, comedy from Shelf and mesmerising whirling dervishes in evim [my home]  in The Nest to getting prepped for Chichester's Roman Week with our Shield Making workshop and revelling in all things LEGO® with The Brick People - we think you'll find something fun for your family! 

Summer highlights

Are you an early bird looking ahead to the summer? CFT comes into it's own during the summer, expanding into the green parkland, adding deckchairs, music and twinkly lights. There's lots to do below and more to be confirmed soon. Remember to check out What's On in the The Nest too!

Looking ahead to Christmas

Thinking ahead? Check out our festive offers below. More to be announced in September with the Winter season announcement.  

All year round

You can enjoy our free family spaces handily in arms' reach of the Café on the Park (open from 9am Monday to Saturday). There's toys, colouring-in, fancy dress and books available all the time and this space expands on Thursdays during term time and Saturday mornings to welcome more families! 

During term time we have fun sessions early years (ages 0 - 4) on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with Mini Makers and Shakers and on Thursdays with Little Notes. 

Discover even more on our Families What's On and across the city on the Chichester Family Arts NetworkFacebook page.
