We’ve worked with Chichester BID to create a magical Christmas Tree Stroll featuring a trail of eleven unique and beautifully decorated trees spread throughout the city centre, inspired by our festive production for ages 3 – 7, Hey! Christmas Tree.

Running 29 November – 31 December, the Christmas Tree Stroll offers a delightful adventure for all ages. There’s no fixed route, allowing you to explore Chichester's city centre at your own pace and create your own unique Christmas trail.

Each of the eleven trees along the stroll promise a blend of creativity and Christmas charm. Among the trees will be seven sculptures which have been specially commissioned and designed by local artists to incorporate eco-friendly elements. The artists were joined by families during October half term for a series of creative workshops to involve the local community in creating the tree sculptures.

The trees include:

• Home for Christmas at Chichester Festival Theatre is a tree sculpture made by milliner and eco-friendly theatre set designer, Jennifer Taillefer. The magical tree has been designed with the theme of friendship and finding home (see photo above and below) and is sponsored by Henry Adams.

• The Remembrance Tree at Fernleigh House, North Street. Crafted by freelance Creative Art Director, prop designer and producer Lisa Kebell, and also sponsored by Henry Adams, the Remembrance Tree invites reflection with its messages to loved ones.

• Tree of 100 Stars at The Cloisters, Chichester Cathedral. Created by renowned milliner Vicki Brown and sponsored by Kiwi Recruitment, this lantern-inspired sculpture dazzles with 100 stars.

• This Bug Hotel Is Not Just For Christmas in Bishop’s Palace Gardens is sponsored by Chichester BID and crafted by artist Bec Hopkins, who has a particular passion and connection with the natural world. The sculpture celebrates biodiversity and encourages a deeper appreciation for insects.

• Woven Winter Tree at The Guildhall, Priory Park, was created by contemporary environmental artists Rebecca and Mark Ford of Two Circles Design, and is sponsored by Chichester District Council. The sculpture features a grand archway made using local willow.
