In this print from the West Sussex County Council archives, we are transported back to the winter closing ceremony of the Festival Theatre in Chichester on September 8th, 1962.

Amongst the distinguished guests captured in this momentous occasion is none other than Sir Laurence Olivier himself, adding an extra touch of grandeur and prestige.

Each person seems to radiate a sense of excitement and pride, fully aware that they are partaking in a significant moment in Chichester's cultural history. This photograph not only captures a snapshot of fashion trends during that era but also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of theatre arts in Chichester. It reminds us that even decades ago, people recognized and appreciated the importance of celebrating artistic achievements. Preserved within the Chichester Photographic Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this image stands as a reminder of how far our community has come while honoring those who contributed to its cultural growth. As we gaze upon these impeccably dressed individuals gathered under one roof, we cannot help but feel inspired by their dedication and passion for enriching our lives through theatrical performances.
