Chicester Festivities folded in 2012 after four decades. Sad, sad. It has happily been replaced by a month long affair days with arts, crafts, music,and the spoken word.
The former incarnation had but a thin literary stream, but it seems the new incarnation has increased the quota.
Over 200 events are planned for summer 2016, combining a programme of classical music with the best in jazz, blues, folk, rock, pop and world music. Add-in theatre, book events, talks and poetry, exhibitions, walks, tours, cinema, open days and galas and it all seems like jolly spiffing fun to be had by all.
