Meet Our Partners and Sponsors

Chichester BID, Chichester District Council, and Chichester City Council have come together once again to deliver Christmas in Chichester.

The city centre is set to sparkle brighter than ever this festive season, as the main shopping streets and enchanting side streets come alive with dazzling Christmas lights, seasonal shopping, dining, and entertainment experiences for all ages to enjoy.

None of it would be possible without the support of our 2025 sponsors and key partners. 

Principal Sponsor – Mayo Wynne Baxter 

We are grateful to award-winning local solicitors Mayo Wynne Baxter for helping us bring the magic of Christmas to the city. As the principal sponsor of this year’s festivities, they play an integral role in making our plans possible.

From enabling us to print and deliver over 17,000 copies of the treasured Christmas in Chichester brochure, to supporting our most ambitious festive project to date – Let it Glow: Chichester’s Magical Winter Illuminations, taking place every evening on the Cathedral Green from 8–21 December – their support ensures the city shines brighter than ever.

Mayo Wynne Baxter are also proudly supporting Light Up Chichester and the After Party on Saturday 22 November, as well as the ever-popular Festive Family Day, returning this year on Saturday 13 December.

Brochure Sponsors – Blue Spire Accountants and Gold Arts Jewellery

The Christmas in Chichester brochure is the cornerstone of our festive campaign, ensuring thousands of people across the local area receive a personal invitation to join the celebrations and enjoy a truly magical Christmas to remember.

Packed full of festive events and inspiration, this cherished seasonal guide wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of our brochure sponsors, Blue Spire Accountants and Gold Arts Jewellery.

Our Partners

Our gratitude also goes to Chichester Cathedral for hosting Let it Glow: Chichester’s Magical Winter Illuminations on the Cathedral Green, and for providing one of the key locations for our Festive Family Day on 13 December.

We’re also thankful to Chichester Festival Theatre, whose Christmas elves will be spreading festive cheer across the city during the Lights Switch On event on 22 November, and for hosting wonderful free crafting activities in the Cathedral Cloisters as part of the Festive Family Day.

Finally, Christmas in Chichester is all about collaboration. We are delighted to be working in partnership with Chichester District Council and Chichester City Council, and extend our thanks to the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund for part-funding Let it Glow: Chichester’s Magical Winter Illuminations.
