Tips & Advice

  • Arrive with enough time to find your seat before the 7:30 pm start, so you are settled when the concert begins.
  • Set aside the full two-hour evening, from 7:30 to 9:30 pm, rather than scheduling another activity immediately afterward.
  • Use the cathedral’s West Street, Chichester, PO19 1QG address when planning your journey to the venue.
  • All ages are welcome, but consider whether a two-hour evening concert is comfortable for younger children in your group.
