 It is your responsibility to book accommodation for this trip. There are several places around Chichester that are within walking distance to the Cathedral, including a Travel Lodge, Premier Inn, and several B&Bs.

Please make your own way to Chichester, and leave plenty of time to arrive for the first 2pm rehearsal. If you are travelling from Canterbury then I would appreciate some help in taking robes and/or music as I now have to fit all the things that come with Oscar in the boot!

For those of you who are regular singers with St Stephen’s, please take your own robes with you. It would be lovely if you could wash your whites in advance too.

For those of you joining us as guests, please let me know you approximate height and I’ll bring all the spare robes hopefully enough for everyone. If you have robes from elsewhere, it might be worth bringing those with you too, just in case.

Where ever you’re coming from, don’t forget your black shoes!

It would be nice to out for dinner together on the Saturday night – we will need to book in advance as there could be a lot of us; we may need to pre-order too. More information nearer the time!

On Sunday there won’t be a lot of time for lunch as the Eucharist will finish at approximately 12.30pm, and then we have to rehearse no later than 2pm for an early Evensong, so I would recommend bringing a sandwich with you, or possibly finding something in the Cathedral tea room.
