Hello everybody! There is now some information on the Chichester Festivities website: www.chifest.org.uk/Click on the link at the top to see the full details of the festivities. I won't add Hayley's concert to the master schedule until the details and venue are confirmed. Richard

Hello Richard and thanks for that, I was getting worried that we hadn't heard from the Festival itself about it and it's in my local area! I believe Roger has already had confirmation of the date from Bedlam (Hayley's) Management but we didn't add it to the Forum schedule as it seemed to be outside the range of dates allocated to the Festival. Now, it is clearly inside the festival scheduled dates so I think it's safe to say it is confirmed. Assuming Roger hasn't heard any different when he next logs on, we will then be able to add it as confirmed to both schedules! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifCheers, Dave

Ah, but what will you do if Roger doesn't log on? Eh? Oh that's me, innit? Yes, the date has been confirmed but as you say, we still don't know the venue. I think we can safely assume it will go ahead so I am now heading for the Schedules board! Then I might go to Chichester! Roger

Hi All I have just spoken to the Festival booking office and whilst they have confirmed that online booking will be available in a couple of weeks they recommend early booking using the booking form.

The information at ChiFest.org states that the opening night is at the Goodwood Racecourse. Maybe, all concerts will be held there. If that is the casse, Goodwood is about 8 miles NE of Chichester. Roger

Hello Roger and everyone, The Chichester Festivities is organised by Chichester Cathedral and I have learned that all the major concerts are held there... at the Cathedral. Other events are held at any one of several venues in and around Chichester (with a few at nearby Goodwood!). You can see all this for yourselves by downloading last year's brochure. Brochure from 2006This is why, as Martin said, it is essential to book early by post and not wait until box office or internet booking becomes available... this is a rare visit by Hayley to this (my!) part of the World and Hayley is going to fill the Cathedral to the top of the bell tower! However... this venue (the Cathedral) has NOT been confirmed yet by Hayley's Management.01243 785718 for a brochure/application form (office hours). There is a booking form at the end of last year's brochure. If they will not take a telephone booking, I shall ask them tomorrow if I may use that. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif Cheers, Dave

Hi Dave I asked if telephone bookings are taken and I was given a definite NO! I therefore have a booking form in the post.

Hi Martin and Dave, When I rang them up, I got a machine so I don't know if I have a booking form in the post or not! Roger

I can confirm that the concert will be in the Cathedral starting at 8pm. Prices are £25, £22 and £12 but this last price has no view of the stage!.

Hi Martin & everyone Thanks for finding the info on this Martin. After reading the various posts on this, I thought that I had better ask for clarification Are we saying that the concert is in the Cathedral on the 9th July and that to book early you need to contact the booking office to get a booking form sent out ? Mark

Just rang and requested a booking form!
Does anyone know how booking is going for Hayley's concert?

My booking form arrived this morning. I assume that we will just be allocated seats on a first come first served basis?
Think I will book for this one. Who else is thinking of going?

Hi Grant, I believe Hayley is thinking about it. Failing that, it'll just be thee and me! Roger
