EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the swinging 1960s with this print capturing a momentous occasion - the Garden Party hosted by the esteemed Mayor of Chichester in honor of the grand opening of the iconic Chichester Festival Theatre. This remarkable gathering, held on 25th June 1962, brought together an array of distinguished guests from all walks of life. Amongst those presented to the gracious mayor and mayoress were none other than two legendary figures in British theatre - Sir Laurence Olivier and Joan Plowright. Their presence added an extra touch of glamour and prestige to this already star-studded event. The photograph itself exudes a sense of elegance and sophistication, as well as a palpable air of excitement for what was undoubtedly a landmark moment for both Chichester and its thriving arts community. The beautifully manicured gardens provide an idyllic backdrop for this joyous celebration, while guests mingle amidst vibrant blooms and cascading fountains. Preserved within West Sussex County Council's Chichester Photographic Collection, this image serves as a poignant reminder not only of that unforgettable day but also pays homage to the rich cultural heritage that has made Chichester Festival Theatre such an enduring institution over half a century later. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported back in time to relish in the warmth and camaraderie shared amongst these influential individuals who played their part in shaping our artistic landscape. A true testament to unity, creativity, and above
