Try the AA Route Planner for your journey.

BY RAIL

Chichester Station is a 15 minute walk away from the Theatre, with regular direct links to London Victoria, Brighton, Portsmouth, Southampton, and Gatwick Airport. Trains to London Waterloo connect at nearby Havant. Call 08457 484950 for timetables and other details.

To walk to the theatre from the Railway Station, head out of the main entrance and turn left at The Globe pub. Simply head straight on South St, passing The Cross (stone monument), and straight again on North St. You then come to an underpass, please pass under and cross North Gate Car Park to reach the Theatre on the far side.

CAR PARK

There is a 900 space pay and display car park immediately next to the Chichester Festival Theatre (free after 5pm weekdays and all day Sunday, and from 4pm on Saturday). On matinee days the car park is very busy, so please allow plenty of time. Other car parks are available in the town centre.

Parking for Disabled Patrons There are nine non-reservable parking spaces for blue badge holders in the Northgate car park next to the Theatre, although with a badge it is permissible to park anywhere in the car park.
