EVENT #2
Stansted House Summer Festival

After three successful years, Stansted House is back with another jam-packed festival weekend. If you imagine a festival within a quintessential country estate, this won’t be far off. Activities include reenactments, classic car displays and forest schools. Alongside plenty of live music and local food vendors, there is a great day to be had.

EVENT #3
The Little Hoots Trail

Here is a bit of summer fun and adventure to be had in the streets of Chichester for all ages, and for a great cause. Mini Owlets have been designed and decorated by local schools and groups, and are displayed in 20 businesses across Chichester.

“The Little Hoots Trail is a wonderfully vibrant addition to Chichester City centre, inviting young people to engage in a creative and educational adventure around the streets of our historic city.” - Chichester BID

Embark on the trail around Chichester in support of Chestnut Tree House, more info and where to find them can be found here.

EVENT #4
Festival of Speed

It’s that time of the year. Fast cars everywhere, congestion and the sound of Goodwood’s track in action. Festival of Speed is the world’s largest ‘automotive garden party’, and for good reason. Showcasing a broad range of the latest car displays and vendors, alongside the track races, f1 drivers and other celebrities. It is a petrol heads heaven.

From Thursday to Sunday, traffic will be steady in the Goodwood direction. Tickets are still available via the Festival of Speed website.
