Chichester, West Sussex - A Town of Rich History and Current Trends

The city center of Chichester, England, stands on what was once known as Noviomagus Reginorum. The city traces its routes back to the 12th Century. It is a cathedral city, once thought to be a bridge head for the Romans invasion on Britain. It is a beautiful town, off the south coast of the country.
Based largely on the fact that the city itself has endured such a rich and vibrant history, Chichester has seated itself as predominantly a tourist visitor's center. It also enjoys income from local marinas. The Northshore shipyard in Chichester is the home of Southerly and Fisher yachts and contributes a large amount of income to the city, as well.
Chichester is the art center for the region and enjoys two art galleries and several other cultural outlets. Each summer, Chichester Festivities last for three weeks in July. This annual event draws crowds from near and far. If you're planning on visiting Chichester during the summer months, be sure to visit the Chichester Festival Theater.
Every summer, the Theater is home to movie stars and stars of the stage and the West End Theater. Chichesester Cinema at New Park is the area's only art house cinema. You can expect the likes of Kenneth Branagh and Maggie Smith to appear from time to time around the cinema as they are part of the governing body.
The city of Chichester is very musical. During the 1990s, there was a very vibrant alternative music scene that burst from the veins of the city. Though things have quieted down a bit, you can still find clothing that is a bit left off center from the norm on North Street. Stop by and pick up some truly unique outfits for everyone back home.
Don't miss the Chichester Real Ale and Jazz Festival, you'll see world wide recording artists performing, annually.
