LET’S GET ARTY THIS HALF TERM 

Chichester city centre is a hub for art, culture and history. We really hope this trail will inspire you to discover more about the vibrant arts scene we have here, from 21st century street art to medieval stained glass windows. There are also some wonderful art related events that Pallant House Gallery, The Novium Museum and Chichester Cathedral are putting on this half term:

Pallant House Gallery

Entry to Pallant House Gallery is free for children, and they can pick up a ‘Ways of Looking’ bag on arrival, which has a guide and fun tools like magnifying glasses and kaleidoscopes to help them make the most of their visit. Also, during half term the gallery is hosting two creative workshops for ages 7 years and up, using its ‘Sussex Landscape’ exhibition as inspiration for creating their own artworks. Spaces for these are limited and booking is essential.

The Novium Museum 

The Novium Museum will be hosting pirate themed activities throughout half term including interactive storytelling in the Guildhall at Priory Park, sword decorating craft sessions and a free pirate treasure trail around the Museum. In addition to the pirate activities, a free Art of Chichester Family Day on Friday 17 February invites visitors of all ages to take part in a variety of fun creative activities to celebrate The Art of Chichester exhibition.

Chichester Cathedral 

At the Cathedral on Friday 17, families are invited to join its artist-in-residence, Anne Grebby, for a special drop-in art workshop. Participants will be encouraged to use all of their senses to create a colourful masterpiece, inspired by the modern art in the Cathedral.
