Coronavirus: Chichester’s Pub in the Park event is rescheduled

Chef Tom Kerridge said the decision was made ‘following advice and in the interest of everyone’s health, well-being and confidence’.

The event in Chichester had been due to take place in Oaklands Park from Saturday May 23 to Monday May 25.

It will now be rescheduled for August 14 to 16, with a venue yet to be confirmed.

Mr Kerridge said the ‘vast majority’ of the music – including headline acts, chef and restaurant line-up – will remain the same.

Any minor alterations will be announced in due course.

He said: “We would like to thank the chefs, restaurants, venues, local authorities, artists and many of our other contributors who have shown their unwavering support of Pub in the Park to enable us to rearrange our plans.

“In the meantime, we want you all to keep healthy and look after each other.”

All ticket holders to venues with a change of date will have their tickets automatically transferred to the new dates.

Anyone who can no longer make their rescheduled date can swap their tickets for another day and/or location subject to capacity or transfer to next year.

If you are unable to attend, a refund will be processed.
