Chichester Racquets And Fitness Club

Chichester Racquets and Fitness Club is a proper sports facility right in the heart of Chichester, the kind of place locals actually use rather than tourists typically queue up for. You won't find much in the way of spectating here - this is about doing, not watching. They run squash courts, fitness facilities, and various indoor sports depending on what's on offer when you visit.

It's genuinely useful if you're staying at one of the nearby parks like Haven Church Farm or Butlins Bognor Regis and want to burn off some energy without leaving the area. Families with teenagers might find the squash courts a good rainy-day option, though younger kids will probably get bored within half an hour. Serious fitness types will appreciate having gym facilities close by, and if you're the competitive sort, the squash scene in Chichester is fairly active.

Being a membership-driven club, you'll need to check their current guest policy before turning up - walk-ins aren't always welcome at these places. It's best to ring ahead and ask what's available. Located just minutes from Chichester town centre, it's convenient rather than a destination in itself. If you're after something more leisurely, the city's Georgian streets and Cathedral are far more rewarding for a family afternoon. But for a proper workout session or a competitive match, it does the job well.
