This morning, New Park Centre warmly welcomed the winners of its ‘My Chichester’ children’s art competition to a special Winners’ Celebration and the official opening of the art exhibition. The event marks the launch of the Centre’s Golden Anniversary celebrations, commemorating 50 years of serving the Chichester community as a thriving cultural and creative hub.

New Park Centre, a cornerstone of Chichester’s community for over 50 years, is proud to announce its partnership with St. Anthony’s School to support Year 11 pupils in developing essential skills for the future. The collaboration involves students taking on a community project aimed at improving the external environment of New Park Centre and creating bespoke artwork to be displayed within its grounds.

As part of its upcoming Golden Anniversary celebrations, New Park Centre in Chichester is inviting residents to share their memories of the centre over the past 50 years. Having evolved from a former school into a thriving community hub, New Park Centre has played a vital role in bringing people together. To mark this milestone, the centre is creating a special community memory display, capturing its rich history and the people who have shaped it.

New Park Centre, Chichester’s vibrant community space, is proud to announce its role as the launch venue for an inspiring exhibition honouring Madge Turner, a pioneering suffragist and advocate for women’s rights born in Chichester in 1884. Running until mid-February, the exhibition sheds light on Madge’s fearless activism as a member of the Women’s Freedom League and highlights the militant suffrage movement’s activities in Chichester during the early 20th century.
