Looking for ways to keep your family entertained over half term? Well don't miss The BRICK People. Everyone loved them earlier this year, so we’ve invited them back for even more fun. There's also crafts from The Creation Station Chichester and we have extend our free family spaces all week long (available all the time under the stairs and usually popping up on Thursday and Saturday mornings). This space is handily in arms-reach of the Café on the Park (open from 9am Monday - Saturday).

We've also just confirmed a Family Friendly Backstage Tour, on Saturday 2 November, perfect for 7–11 year-olds. These are a brilliant way to explore our backstage spaces. You'll come away with oodles of fantastic facts about what happens behind the scenes today. Plus there will be chances to get hands-on with props and try on costumes used in previous productions - lots of fun.

After half term, we have fun sessions for little ones on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with Mini Makers & Shakers and Thursdays with Little Notes too.

If you're the type to think even further ahead... Christmas is coming! In fact, you can join us on 28 October for a free workshop to make mini decorations for Chichester BID's Christmas Tree Trail with artist Lisa Kebell. Drop in and decorate wood slices with messages to loved ones passed and present or simply paint a fun festive scene. Guests can either take it home or donate it to decorate CFT's tree which will be displayed during the trail this year.
