FOR EVERYONE
Laser Light Show so nice, it’s happening twice

We are lucky in Chichester to have a canal. We can kayak in it, enjoy drinks on the side of it… but do be warned of the territorial swans. Chichester Canal Basin are hosting for the second time after the dazzling success of the first Laser Light Show Extravaganza. This is a free event with the show being choreographed to some pretty dramatic music.

Tickets are not required and there will be four showings spanned over Friday and Saturday. More details can be found here.

SOMETHING ACTIVE
Start your weekend the right way…

Is there a more fun way to start the weekend than a 5k run? Maybe yes, but is there a healthier way to start your weekend? I think not. Surround yourself with a great crowd and get some positive endorphins flowing at Park Run.

Chichester Park Run takes place at Oaklands Park on Saturday at 9:00. Sign up prior for free here.

LIVE MUSIC
Live Music for all taste buds

Big fan of the blues? Fancy seeing some live drum & bass? Chichester has you covered. Chichester’s nightlife is ever-evolving and this Friday sees a whole range of music. Catch Alex Roberts and Ben Jones perform at Wildwood’s Folk, Blues and Beyond - tickets here.

For Drum & Bass, local events company CSide take over La Havana for a special ‘Valentine Bash’ with tickets being available for purchase here. 

ADVERT

SOCIAL STUFF
Who is known as ‘The King’ of Rock and Roll?

Get out on a fine Saturday afternoon and test your Rock and Roll knowledge at Bingo hosted by The Little Monster Tap. Locally crafted beers and fun prizes are available! Starting at 5 PM, More details here.

ONE FOR THE KIDS
Get crafty at the Canal

From my limited knowledge, half term can be a daunting time for parents: kids need constant entertainment. Fear not however, the Canal Trust to the rescue. Get involved with crafts, games and much more at the Family Fun Day.

Drop in on Monday between 10:00-15:00. More details here

Thanks for reading, it’s early days (ep1).

Have the best week, and do get in touch with any events and feedback.
