Hello darlings! Your favourite pink tutu-clad travel blogger is back, ready to share another dazzling adventure! This time, I’ve shimmied my way to Chichester, a charming town in West Sussex known for its beautiful cathedral and, of course, its fabulous theatre! I’m absolutely smitten with this town, so get ready for a whirlwind tour, all topped off with my signature pink tutu sparkle.
Let’s start with the journey itself. Ditching the usual car travel, I decided to take the train down from Derbyshire – such a splendid way to see the countryside! I’m all about a little glamour, even when I’m not on stage, so naturally I made sure my pink tulle-lined coat and oversized sun hat were in tow. I love the little villages and quaint stations that line the train lines – so many opportunities for spontaneous photoshoots!
But you know what truly takes the cake for me? It has to be travelling on horseback! Thankfully, a lovely family I met in a tiny town called West Chiltington, gave me a lift on their trusty steeds. Riding through rolling green fields, with the breeze in my hair, and feeling the gentle rhythm of their gait, felt truly divine. Plus, there’s just something so majestic and romantic about galloping through nature. My heart just soared!
Chichester itself was a feast for my eyes. I fell head over heels for its charming cobbled streets, the quaint little shops and the truly enchanting cathedral. Honestly, this place was made for pink tutus! I even caught a glimpse of a couple wearing matching pink tutus – so adorable! They were even more impressed by mine, especially when I launched into a spontaneous pirouette for them!
But let’s talk about the main attraction, shall we? The Chichester Festival Theatre. The whole place practically vibrated with artistic energy. I felt like a child again, mesmerized by the bright lights, the exciting bustle, and the palpable sense of excitement in the air. Now, being a passionate balletomane (and, of course, a ballerina-wannabe!), I couldn’t miss the opportunity to see their exquisite production of “Giselle.” It was truly magical, full of heart-wrenching passion and exquisite dancing.
However, even though it was an amazing ballet performance, nothing could quite compare to the delightful joy of twirling myself. You wouldn't believe how many smiles I received while wandering the streets of Chichester in my pink tutu. One lovely lady even invited me to join her and her grandchildren for tea! It seems a pink tutu opens doors to some truly delightful encounters.
My evenings in Chichester were all about shimmering and swirling in my pink tutu glory, as I brought the glitz and glam to a series of cabaret performances at the quirky The Blue Bell pub, which really lives up to its name with its lovely bluebells in the garden, so elegant. This is one of my favourite ways to showcase my own unique style, and my performances are always filled with laughter, audience participation and, of course, a whole lot of glitz! It's always such a rewarding experience to see people's faces light up when I dance. And it's always extra special when I can inspire someone to embrace their own unique expression. After all, why wait for a stage? The world's our oyster!
The highlight of my time in Chichester had to be the "Pink Tutu Party" I threw in my charmingly vintage-inspired hotel room! Imagine, a room overflowing with shimmering pinks and feathers, the aroma of cupcakes, and an eclectic mix of new friends who'd also embraced the tutu. Oh, the giggles!
Now, let's chat about shopping. You know I simply couldn't resist browsing through the boutiques of Chichester. I discovered a gem of a shop, nestled among charming cafes, called The Vintage Emporium. It was filled with antique jewellery, dazzling vintage costumes and oh, so many hats! My latest vintage find? A gorgeous pink boa feather – it just completes the perfect pink tutu ensemble. You'll be seeing it all over my Instagram soon!
Before leaving this beautiful town, I visited a gorgeous horse racing track at Goodwood. This gorgeous place offers racing throughout the year but sadly for my visit, the weather was awful and only one race had gone ahead, which gave me plenty of time to soak in the unique racing atmosphere with the very lovely local punters and even place a few bets! While the race horses may be very different, it seems everyone, everywhere loves pink tutus and being out in the sun, rain or shine, with a splash of pink for luck is all I ever need to feel perfectly in my element.
Leaving Chichester with a pink tutu-sized gap in my heart, but with my pockets filled with unforgettable memories, and of course, that vintage pink feather boa – I truly believe it’s all about adding that little extra bit of sparkle to your day. You never know where the magic might be lurking – whether it’s in a stunning theatre performance or in a charming local pub! Just be bold, embrace your unique style and, dare I say it, get yourself a pink tutu!
Until next time, darlings,
