The trip is planned for Wednesday 7th September. In the morning we will have a guided tour of the Cathedral for about an hour and a quarter.
We will have lunch nearby at Brasserie Blanc. We will all be eating in the same area of the restaurant. As we have done recently, I suggest people organise and pay for their meal table by table.
In the afternoon there is a choice of activity. Either a tour of a nearby vineyard or a city walking tour.
The wine tour will be at the nearby Tinwood Vineyard (4 miles from Chichester and famous for its sparkling wines). From their own publicity ‘The Vineyard Tour & Wine Tasting takes 1.5 hours. This includes three glasses of sparkling wine and a tour around the estate. After the tour you are welcome to stay for an extra glass or a cold bottle of wine of your choice.
The walking tour by green badge guides, from their own publicity, indicates ‘an easy walk within the city walls which takes you through the ages, from Roman Baths to 21st century architecture via medieval streets, the market cross, Georgian residences, the Cathedral Quadrant and Pallant House gallery as well, as some Norman and Victorian architectural examples. It lasts around 1.5 hours.

11.00 Meet at the East Door of the Cathedral
11.15 Guided tour of the Cathedral
