Welcome from the Dean of Chichester
This Advent and Christmas, we invite you to journey with us at Chichester Cathedral, a place of worship and wonder for 950 years.
As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus, our historic Cathedral offers a space for worship, reflection, beauty, and connection for all.
Hear the uplifting voices of our renowned Choir, step into the glow of candlelight and Christmas trees, and take time to experience the joy of this season.
With special services, concerts and family activities, we welcome everyone to share in the spirit of the Advent and Christmas seasons within these ancient walls.
