What’s inside your Here Comes Summer guide

It’s been a tough year for all of us, local businesses and tourist attractions included, and we need to support our local economy as much as possible this summer.

In this guide, you’ll find tips on nearby days out from Stagecoach, a round-up of some of the great events in our area – from Glorious Goodwood to Pub in the Park, tips on travel and staycations from local firms and much more.

We’ve also included features on barbecue cookbooks and tips to make your garden parties extra special, as we know many people will be making the most of their outside spaces this summer. 

We’ve also featured businesses with tips on how to revamp your home – from kitchens to conservatories, which you’ll find throughout this supplement.

Don’t miss our round-up of all the farmers’ markets in the area, where you’ll be able to get your hands on some of the delicious locally-made food and drink from local producers.

And after a tough year for our independent businesses  and high streets, they need your support more than ever, which is why we’ve featured initiatives from the Chichester and Bognor BIDs which work to help boost the businesses in our town centres.

We hope you enjoy this guide and it gives you some inspiration for things to do over the next few months – and from all of us here at the Observer, we wish you a great summer!
