Chichester is big on culture, from The Novium, a museum above a Roman bath house, to the Chichester Festival Theatre which hosts large musical and theatrical productions. Both offer a host of events and experiences, with a clear commitment to providing something for everyone. Families will particularly enjoy this year's Dinosaurs: Hungry Hatchlings exhibition at the Novium, and the Festival Theatre’s backstage tours. The Pallant Gallery also runs workshops throughout the year. Chichester has the standard high street stores, but the focus is firmly on high-quality independent businesses – Hansfords Menswear has been trading for over 100 years while Crane Street is the go- to destination for vintage wares. There's a market every Wednesday and Saturday and a fortnightly farmers' market. There are plenty of eating out options, the obvious choice is to head to a country pub. Alternatively, local favourites are 64 Restaurant & Bar at Chichester College, with all meals prepared and served by the students and The Cockpit Café at Tangmere Military Aviation Museum. Finally, for a special day out, head to The Goodwood Estate. Famous for its sporting events including the Festival of Speed and the Qatar Goodwood Festival, it also boasts an organic farm, four restaurants, two golf courses, a private members’ club, a health club, a hotel, and an aerodrome, set in 12,000 acres of countryside!
