We’ve compiled a list of some of the best activities and events happening in Chichester to make your Christmas special!

Ah, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. Here are some of our top picks for activities and events happening in Chichester.

We are thrilled to present a magical adventure that invites families to embark on a quest to save Christmas. Sponsored by Howden Insurance, from Saturday 25 November until midday on Sunday 24 December, families can go on a free trail to find Santa’s missing sack of toys with the help of the Chichester Christmas Light Characters. Not only will families have lots of fun following the clues around the city and cracking the code left by Santa’s five festive friends, there’s also a fantastic reward at the end – a chance to win a Nintendo Switch Console and a £50 Chichester Gift Card!
