💐Get ready to join Daniel, an amazing eight-foot puppet who will be leading the free ‘Walk of the Dandelion’ event in Chichester city centre on Saturday 6 June. The event is a huge creative collaboration between Chichester Cathedral, the Culture Spark initiative (Chichester Festival Theatre, Pallant House Gallery and Chichester District Council), the Chichester BID and Novium Museum to mark the start of Great Big Green Week and celebrate the final day of the cathedral’s spectacular Festival of Flowers.
The city of Chichester will be bursting with colour, scent and creativity and we hope as many people as possible will come along to the event which runs 10am until 4pm.
You’re invited to step into a day of wonder as Daniel roams through Chichester city centre sharing gifts of dandelions, each with a message of positivity. Daniel's journey will start at Chichester Cathedral, and finish at Chichester Festival Theatre. Along the way he will be visiting businesses ranging from galleries, cafés and salons to independent retailers across the city who will be transforming their shopfronts into a trail of floral creativity, linking with the Chichester in Bloom trail created by The Chichester BID. The idea is to extend the spirit of the much-loved Festival of Flowers into the city centre.
Enjoy music, crafts, storytelling and dancing at various locations in the city centre.
