Tickets now on sale for Chichester Cathedral's Festival of Flowers 2024

Visitors to the Festival will have the opportunity to experience 60 floral arrangements, handcrafted by talented florists and flower enthusiasts from across the county.

The Festival will also see the return of celebrated Sculptor Philip Jackson, who will be presenting an exhibition of sculptures exclusively for ticket holders.

Visitors can browse through an exclusive range of stalls within the on-site Market, nestled in the Cathedral’s 600 year-old Cloisters. The Market offers unique products from a range of Sussex-based suppliers and businesses - from handcrafted floral arrangements, items for house and home, to local wine and produce. It's a perfect opportunity to find that special gift or memento of your visit.

The newly opened Cloisters Kitchen and Garden offers a broad selection of teas, coffees, cakes and light lunches. The tranquil Garden setting provides a serene atmosphere to enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea or simply unwind amidst the natural beauty of the Cathedral's surroundings.

The Festival of Flowers is a biennial event organised by Chichester Cathedral Trust. The Festival has raised over £1million towards the cost of restoration work over the past 22 years.

Earlier this year, the Cathedral announced Florist Hannah Howell as the Designer for the 2024 Festival. Hannah has over ten years of experience in floristry, working across retail, weddings and for films, through her business Tawny Flower Studio. She is the third generation of her family working with plants and flowers and grows many of the flowers she uses for her floristry at the family’s nursery in Birdham.

A key part of Hannah’s role will be transitioning the Festival to foam-free alternatives, supporting the Cathedral’s ambition of becoming more environmentally sustainable.
