About Chichester and the 01243 Area Code
Chichester is a cathedral city in West Sussex with a history stretching back to Roman times, when it was known as Noviomagus Reginorum. The city's Norman cathedral, with its distinctive spire visible for miles across the coastal plain, is the only medieval English cathedral visible from the sea. Chichester Festival Theatre, founded in 1962, is one of the UK's flagship producing theatres and has premiered numerous West End and Broadway hits. The city also hosts the University of Chichester and Goodwood, famous for its horse racing, motorsport festival and Revival meeting.
The 01243 area extends south to the coast, taking in the seaside resort of Bognor Regis, the sailing haven of Bosham — reputedly where King Canute tried to hold back the tide — and the quiet beaches of Bracklesham Bay and Birdham on Chichester Harbour, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This stretch of the Sussex coast combines historic charm with coastal leisure, making a 01243 virtual number ideal for businesses serving this affluent southern market.
