May half term

Why not 'Caesar' the day and 'Roman' down to Chichester this May half term. On 27 May, join Mrs Blossom Makes to design and craft your very own Centurion Shield. All materials are provided so you can unleash your inner gladiator and wield your creation at the free re-enactment in Priory Park on Thursday 29 May. You can witness thrilling combat, military drills, and fascinating living history displays as skilled re-enactors transport you to the heart of the Roman Empire.

This event are part of Chichester's award-winning Roman Week which celebrates the city's rich Roman heritage with a series of district-wide events designed to engage visitors of all ages. 

Why not extend your visit with a visit to Oaklands Park or pop into our family friendly spaces which can be found near the stairs (and Café on the Park) in the Festival Theatre foyer. Children can discover toys, colouring-in, fancy dress and books in our nooks. We can't wait to welcome you... but a quick request, once you've finished playing, please have a little tidy; it means more families can enjoy their time here at CFT!

Summer

The holidays kick off with our Storytime Saturdays, Summer Sessions and perfect weather (fingers crossed) for playtime on the park - new 'destination playpark' planned for Oaklands park this Summer. Also Save the date for our Summer Holiday Workshops on 11 – 15 Aug in Midhurst and 18 - 22 Aug in Chichester (on sale 2 June). More info coming soon!

This is on top of our fabulous musical, Top Hat which runs across the holidays. Will you be joining us?

All year round

You can enjoy our free family spaces (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).

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