Good Food Fortnight 2025

Friday 26th September – Sunday 12th October 2025

The Arun and Chichester Food Partnership brought back the Good Food Fortnight for its second year in 2025. It brought together a fortnight of food-related activities and events across the two districts with the aims to:

celebrate local organisations that improve access to food and alleviate food poverty

encourage growing, cooking and eating together as a community

spotlight food businesses that champion local, sustainable and affordable food

create connections in the community to individuals, groups and businesses committed to improving the local food system

engage with the community around reimagining our local food systems and creating a good food movement.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this year’s Good Food Fortnight – you can view the full programme now available here or check out it out below.

Food events aren’t just for two weeks a year! – talk to us if you would like some advice or support to set up an activity.

Let’s create a good food movement together for Arun and Chichester.
