INTRODUCTION
This is the first Priory Park Mini Festival from the Priory Park Society in cooperation with the Festival of Chichester, and the Rotary Club of Chichester.
Priory Park is a top visitor attraction but many are unaware of the long rich history from Roman times to today
A series of talks has been arranged by Local experts on the history, cricket and archaeology of the Park and there is a “Last night of the Proms” concert with Chichester City Band featuring composers who have a link to Chichester
