Exciting news - Chichester Shutters have started their 20% spring sale. Based near the Bluebell Woods Chi Weekly talked about recently, their showroom is well worth a visit to see the shutters and how they install them.

EVENT #4
Bosham to Itchenor Ferry

Last Sunday I ran to Itchenor, I then proceeded to run back from Bosham. Magic you ask? Not magic. This adventure was made possible thanks to a small passenger ferry.

The Itchenor Ferry has been transporting people for well over 400 years, with a daily service throughout the summer. And to make it even better, bikes are allowed also. Cycle along Salterns way to Itchenor and cycle back along the Bosham coastal back roads. The Ferry costs £3 for adults, and £1 for children. More info can be found here.

EVENT #5
The Crown & Anchor Oyster Festival

Something a bit different here. The Crown and Anchor will be hosting their annual Oyster Festival this upcoming bank holiday weekend. Now I must admit, I have never actually tried an oyster. However what better place to try one than at a themed festival.

Deals, delights and hopefully a weekend of sun. With amazing views over the Fishbourne channel, The Crown & Anchor will be a great pub to visit this weekend.

BONUS
Bash @ The Bishop Music Festival

Two days of live music, craft beer and good food. Sounds pretty good. After a successful year prior, The Crafty Bishop’s music festival makes a second-year return. Turning South Gate car park into Chichesters own mini festival arena.

Sunday is family day, with activities such as face painting and hair braiding. Fun to be had for the whole family. This Saturday and Sunday 1-10PM, tickets and more info here!

Have a lovely week all.

See you next Sunday.
