Chichester BID will be bringing plenty of autumnal and space-themed fun to the city this half
term for the whole family to enjoy.
Running from Friday 22 October – Sunday 31 October, families are invited to take part in the
‘Rocketing Round Chichester Space Trail’ with the chance to win a signed book by
Chichester’s very own astronaut, Tim Peake. Tying in with the much-anticipated Museum of
the Moon exhibition and series of events at Chichester Cathedral, the trail will take families
around the city centre in search of the hidden rockets in shop windows.
On Friday 29 October from 12-4pm, there will be an afternoon of autumnal activities to
enjoy, including craft workshops on the Cathedral Green run by Chichester Community
Development Trust. The free workshops will focus on using upcycled and natural materials
to create fun fall themed items including leaf hedgehogs, leaf lanterns and leaf crowns.
There will also be Halloween themed face painting, live music and pop-up performances
from Arabesque School of Dance throughout the city centre. EveryoneActive will also be
bringing energetic activities into the city for all to enjoy and local retailers Whirligig, The
Sweet Jar, Smiggle, Rainbows Parlour and the British Heart Foundation will all be running
special offers, games and fun.
“We are delighted to be bringing some extra fun and energy back into Chichester this half
term,” comments Helen Marshall, Vice Chair and CEO of Chichester BID. “It is always
wonderful to see the streets alive with families and activities enjoying everything we have to
offer. We hope to see many more people discovering our beautiful city this autumn and
experiencing what makes Chichester such a special place to visit.”
Chichester BID has launched a new Autumn Guide as part of a new series of city centre
itineraries, with ideas and suggestions on what to see and do over the next few months.
