Until Sunday 21st September
Autumn is upon us with its paths, roads and
lawns covered in beautifully coloured fallen
leaves crunching under foot.
Thursday 4th - Sunday
14th September
A musical fable of Broadway based on a story and characters of Damon Runyon.Music and lyrics by Frank Loesser,
Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows. Guys and Dolls – a joyous and vibrant celebration of Prohibition-era New York
– marks a series of firsts when it bursts onto the Festival Theatre stage at Chichester this summer.
A slight dip in temperatures is no reason
to turn the telly on, vegetate on the sofa
and wait for spring, however - certainly
not, given the remarkable variety of events
happening across Sussex.
Rated by the New York Post in
February 2012 as one of the world’s
leading local food events, it’s the
largest festival of its kind in the south
of England. With local producers,
growers, restaurants, bars and food
retailers firmly at its heart, showcasing
the fantastic food, drink and hospitality
to be found in Sussex.
Not only will it be the first time that Guys and Dolls has been staged at Chichester during its 52-year history, it will be
the first musical to open in the Festival Theatre following its £22 million redevelopment. The musical also marks debuts
at Chichester for director Gordon Greenberg and choreographer Carlos Acosta.
Those I have for you here are broad reaching,
with hopefully something for everyone.
FINDON SHEEP FAIR & VILLAGE FESTIVAL - FINDON
findonsheepfair.co.uk
Saturday 13th September
This is a centuries old glimpse at a now forgotten way of life in Sussex. The
Sheep Fair at Findon is one of the longest established continuously held
events in England and it’s really important to keep this link with Sussex
culture going for future generations.
The Fair takes place annually at Findon Village in the heart of Sussex.
Take the whole family!
Friday Night begins with a ‘proper’ traditional funfair on the green and barn
dance in the marquee. Saturday is the fair itself, with free admission. There
will be craft, food and produce demonstrations and stalls; sheep displays,
sheep judging, a funfair and other displays on the green.
Kids can meet the sheep and small animals as well as watch the delightful
art of Punch & Judy.

Possibly one of Brighton’s favourite
out-of-town performers, Gruff Rhys
returns to the city following his
incredible sell out show back in May
for the Brighton Festival. Wielding
his latest album creation, American
Interior, this show doesn’t only
promise the Super Furry Animals
frontman’s distinct and unusual
musical style, but also a highly
involved and visual performance. One
to get on and book sharpish.
