Chichester Festival Theatre have joined The Big Hoot!Β π¦
They are a local theatre with a world-class profile where everyone`s invited to be part of the story, on and off the stage.
"Weβre delighted to be part of Chestnut Tree Houseβs fantastic art trail The Big Hoot.
"The Roman goddess Minerva is often shown with an owl as a symbol of wisdom β check out the logo on the Minerva Theatre! β so itβs specially appropriate for Chichester Festival Theatre to be part of the trail.
"Our owl will be created by the brilliant theatre designer and Arundel resident Simon Higlett, and we look forward to welcoming lots of families this summer to enjoy our feathery friend (and perhaps check out all our other family activities too)."

Giant owls are flying around the country to be painted by talented artists! π¦
One of them has recently nested with @marnie_makes, an independent artist and illustrator based in Worcestershire.
Her work tends to be a whimsical combination of adorable characters, intricate details, and magical settings – inspired by nature and the natural world. π³
It`s clear as a summer`s day that she adores colour, as all her work is vibrant, whimsical, playful, and happy.
Her beautiful, highly detailed art is mainly created by hand using a variety of mediums β gouache, watercolours, acrylics, ink, pen, and pencils, and a mixtures of surfaces. I also work digitally creating prints and other products for Folksy and her website. π¨π
We can`t wait to see the design come to life as we get closer to The Big Hoot trail in July! π

We`re proud to have Chichester BID be a BIG part of The Big Hoot!
Chichester BID (Business Improvement District) is a business-led partnership which allows local businesses the power to decide what improvements they want to make in their city centre.
They help accelerate regeneration by providing services, projects and solutions that fall outside the public sector remit.

Before our owls land on the streets of Chichester and Arundel this July, they are going for a "pamper break" in the living rooms, snugs, and hallways of incredibly talented artists π¨π
@philrwesty is one of the 30 artists who have been picked from nearly 200 amazing entries to paint one of the giant owl statues.
He`s a Brighton-based Graphic Designer and Illustrator, who draws his inspiration from nature.
Although Phil`s design will be kept secret until the trail, we can let slip that Frida Kahlo`s portraits and colourful paintings of Mexico`s wildlife play a strong part π
Stay tu-hooned for sneak beaks as we get closer to the trail π¦
