Welcoming Kenton Budd as new Festival of Chichester principal sponsor

The festival will offer five weeks of fun stretching from walks to talks, exhibitions to plays, from music to theatre, running from Saturday, June 15 to Sunday, July 21. Tickets online: www.thenovium.org/boxoffice; email: [email protected]; box office: 01243 816525.

Kenton is delighted to be part of it: “To be the principal sponsor is fantastic. We have been involved in a minor way in the last few years but to be principal sponsor is great. It makes you feel part of it. It is good for the company. It is good exposure but the festival is something that we care about and it's something that makes us feel good – to be able to mix our business with what the festival is doing. It just feels like a natural partnership.”

A member of the National Association of Estate Agents and a licensed agent, Kenton has been an estate agent in Chichester since 1993 – one of the longest-serving in the city.

“On a personal level I have always enjoyed the arts and music and that's why I've always lived in Chichester. I've never moved. And that's why so many people move to Chichester. You know in an estate agency why people are wanting to move and a lot of people that come here are artists and musicians and authors. We know from our demographic what people are wanting and what a lot of people are wanting is culture.
