Chichester's top ranking for summer visits to bring more people to city, council hopes

Holiday company Holidu looked at cities throughout the country and, after taking into account the average number of hours of sun, average temperature, number of parks, lakes, beaches, swimming pools and ice-cream shops, and comparing these with the density of the cities, placed our city in the number-one spot.

"We know that our parks team are especially proud of this score, especially as they, along with our streets team, have been out and about throughout this entire crisis making sure that the city continues to look its best.

“We hope that this will attract even more people to visit our beautiful city and the district as a whole. Our local businesses and the tourism sector need our support now, more than ever. Our message to tourists is that our district is ready to welcome you.

"We have so much to offer including a stunning coastline, beautiful countryside, and an area that is rich in history – providing you with an unforgettable and special holiday or day out, in what has been an incredibly challenging year.”
