SUMMARY:Hurrah for Shippam's at The Novium Museum
DESCRIPTION:Shippam’s: A Chichester Brand\nAdmission is free\, with donations welcome. \nBehind every jar of potted paste was a person\, a story – and a city. This summer\, one of Chichester’s most iconic names steps back into the spotlight in a brand new exhibition exploring the history\, impact\, and legacy of Shippam’s. \nFrom humble beginnings in 1786\, Shippam’s grew from a family grocer into a nationally recognised food manufacturer – all while remaining proudly rooted in Chichester. Best known for their meat and fish pastes\, the company was a household name for generations. But their story goes far beyond the contents of a jar. \nThis exhibition brings the Shippam’s story to life through rarely-seen photographs\, quirky adverts\, colourful packaging and real objects from life on the factory floor. You’ll hear from the people who worked the lines\, packed the jars and operated the switchboards – their voices captured through brand new oral histories. Visitors can even explore archaeological finds from the old East Walls factory site.

SUMMARY:William Nicholson at Pallant House Gallery
DESCRIPTION:This is the first major exhibition of the celebrated artist William Nicholson (1872 – 1949) in more than 20 years.\n\n\nSpanning Nicholson’s entire career\, this landmark show reveals the breadth of his artistic vision – from world-renowned still lifes\, insightful portraits and evocative landscapes to his poster designs and playful book illustrations. \nHighlights include the bold posters he produced with his brother-in-law James Pryde as ‘J. & W. Beggarstaff’\, his celebrated woodcuts from An Alphabet (1898)\, original illustrations for The Velveteen Rabbit\, works created during travels to India\, and poignant wartime paintings\, as well as his glittering still lifes\, which showcase his mastery of light and texture. \nVisitors can view rarely seen works\, and intimate depictions of family and friends – including a newly displayed portrait of his son\, artist Ben Nicholson. \nThe exhibition offers a rare opportunity to rediscover one of Modern British art’s most beloved and versatile figures and is accompanied by a new catalogue\, with contributors including Stephen Calloway\, Simon Martin\, Miriam O’Connor Perks\, Jane Pritchard\, Patricia Reed\, and Melanie Vandenbrouck.

SUMMARY:Caroline Walker: Mothering at Pallant House Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Explore the beauty\, strength\, and unseen labour of childcare in the powerful exhibition\, Caroline Walker: Mothering.\n\n\nCelebrated for her luminous brushwork and moving depictions of women’s lives\, Walker transforms everyday acts of care into striking scenes. From maternity wards to nurseries\, her paintings reveal the tenderness\, intensity and resilience of motherhood and the often-unacknowledged work that shapes our society. \nFeaturing highlights from the past five years alongside new works\, this exhibition brings together Walker’s lively pencil sketches\, delicate ink studies\, intimate panels and large-scale canvases. Her use of light\, colour and scale creates works that feel both universal and deeply personal. \nCaroline Walker: Mothering is organised by The Hepworth Wakefield in collaboration with Pallant House Gallery. Shown within the unique setting of the historic townhouse\, this is a rare chance to experience Walker’s work in an environment that resonates with her themes of home\, family and care. \nCaroline Walker: Mothering is accompanied by an illustrated monograph of the same title\, published by Lund Humphries in September 2025. See below.

SUMMARY:A Boy Called Christmas at Chichester Festival Theatre
DESCRIPTION:To see something\, you have to believe in it. Really believe it. That’s the first elf rule. You can’t see something you don’t believe in. \nAn enthralling\, charming and magical tale that tells the true story of Father Christmas. \nFor 11-year-old Nikolas\, whose nickname is Christmas because he was born on 25 December\, life isn’t easy. With only a doll made out of a turnip to keep him company\, he believes in happiness but isn’t happy very often. Until the day he sets out – with his pet mouse Miika and a reindeer called Blitzen – on an extraordinary quest to follow his father and to find Elfhelm\, the fabled village of the elves. \nJoin Nikolas on this life-changing adventure\, full of fantastic characters and beautiful moments\, and watch how one little boy comes to be the very symbol of Christmas itself. Full to bursting with festive wonder\, this story from the award-winning writer Matt Haig – adapted for the stage by Philip Wilson (Cinderella\, Grimm Tales)\, with original live music and songs by Tom Brady (Pinocchio\, The Butterfly Lion) – will warm the hearts of audiences young and old. \nIn their 40th anniversary year\, Chichester Festival Youth Theatre bring their magical gifts for storytelling to another captivating Christmas production\, directed by Dale Rooks (The Wind in the Willows\, Hey! Christmas Tree). \nTickets from £10 and can be booked here.
