Best Things To Do & Days Out In Chichester, West Sussex

Take your family for a walk in the footsteps of history as you explore all the great things to do in Chichester.

Indulge your children’s imagination by taking them to a buried palace that was accidentally discovered back in 1960 by local workmen! Fishbourne Roman Palace has now been fully excavated to reveal a site that began life as a military base during the Roman invasion, before metamorphosing into a palace by the end of the first century.

Explore the stories of the buildings through audio-visual displays and programmes, artwork and mosaics. Outside you can walk around an authentic Roman garden with its own potting shed and antique gardening tools!

Continue opening the door to history at The Novium, which is a museum built around the remains of a Roman bathhouse. See a number of Roman artifacts as you walk around the site, learning about how the baths would’ve been used. Collate great memories of your Chichester family day out as the children get into character trying on Roman helmets and other costumes.

Visit farmlands dating back to the 13th century at the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum. See old farming equipment, farm animals and as you walk through this 50-acre site that has over 50 historic buildings.

There are modern day activities too! Go riding at the Lavant Horse Stables, play a game at MFA Bowl or go for a swim and a ride down the waterslide at Westgate Leisure Centre.
