EVENT #1
The Run Clubs of Chichester

We all know someone who has taken up running recently. Maybe you have? Or are looking to? Marathon season has you inspired, or the lighter evenings have opened up more time.

Whether you are new to running, or a seasoned pro. Running with others is fun. Run clubs have become a great way to socialise, get fit and learn what running is all about. Here’s a list of what Chichester has to offer:

Karibu (Trail Runners) - 12 runs monthly

The Run Company - 6 PM Wednesdays

Mikkeller/The Escapist - 11:30 First Saturday monthly

Sweaty Betty - 9 AM Saturdays

Chichester runners - All week

Inspire Runners - Mon, Tue, Thursdays

EVENT #2
Vinyl Record Fair Returns to Chichester

1.6 Million pounds. That’s how much the world’s most expensive record sold for at auction. The vinyl in question was Wu-Tang Clan’s Once Upon A Time In Shaolin (1 of 1). Thankfully the records coming to Chichester on Saturday sit on the more affordable end of the spectrum.

With multiple sellers and thousands of records available. Chichester Record Fair is a great place to add some rarities, or kick start your collection with a niche bargain.

Free entry on Saturday 4th May. 9:30-3:30 in the Assembly Room. You can find out more info here.

EVENT #3
Racing Season Is A Go

On your marks, get set, go. And it’s off. The Goodwood horse racing season starts this Saturday. Understandably, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. But it’s definitely worth being aware of due to traffic expected around the Westhampnett/Bypass area.

If you are looking for a bank holiday weekend day out, with an amazing backdrop. Tickets are still available on the Goodwood website.

EVENT #4
Seasonal Spot to See Lambs

Lambs have to be up there with the cutest animals. So small and fluffy. I can see why many farms charge for lambing experiences. It makes for a great spring activity. However, there is a scenic & cost-effective field with many lambs near The Trundle.

Driving towards West Dean from Chichester, take a left and park on Binderton Lane. Click here for the co-ordinates to park. From Binderton Lane cross over the road and it’ll be hard to miss the numerous lambs with their mothers! A stunning sea of yellow oilseed can be observed also.

Easily incorporate this into an ascending walk up to The Trundle - great fun for the bank holiday.
