The Big Hoot

Chichester and Arundel
10 July 24  – 1 September 24
Chestnut Tree House
Overview

Thirty large decorated owl sculptures swooped into Chichester’s and Arundel’s green spaces, shopping areas and local landmarks, each uniquely decorated by a different artist.

Thirty smaller owls also joined the trail, taking up residence in shops and public buildings as part of The Little Hoot learner programme. Each Little Hoot was decorated by a local school or community group.

The Big Hoot was brought to the area by Chestnut Tree House children’s hospice. The trail encouraged visitors to enjoy time with family and friends, while exploring the vibrant city of Chichester and historic town of Arundel, all while supporting the charity.

The money raised from The Big Hoot, and its fundraising auction after the trail, will help continue the charity’s free hospice care for children and young people with life-limiting conditions and their families in Sussex and South East Hampshire.

About Chestnut Tree House

Since opening in 2003 Chestnut Tree House has cared for over 1,000 children and young people in the local community. Its care doesn’t just start and end at the hospice, it also takes its services into children’s homes, helping parents and families to take a well-earned break.

The money raised from The Big Hoot will help children live as full a life as possible, no matter what their condition – enabling them to access all the everyday activities that children enjoy, like splashing about in a swimming pool or hunting for bugs (or owls!) in the woods.
