In this photograph, we are transported back to the vibrant summer of 1962, as renowned actress Joan Plowright is warmly greeted by the Mayoress of Chichester. The occasion? A grand Garden Party hosted by the esteemed mayor himself in honor of the much-anticipated opening of Chichester Festival Theatre. The image captures a moment frozen in time, where elegance and charm radiate from every corner. Standing alongside Joan Plowright is none other than her husband, Laurence Olivier, one of Britain's most celebrated actors. Their presence adds an air of star-studded glamour to this already illustrious event. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Oaklands Park, where nature's beauty intertwines with architectural splendor, it becomes clear why Chichester was chosen as the location for such a prestigious gathering. As guests mingle amidst blooming flowers and lush greenery, laughter fills the air while conversations between celebrities and dignitaries create an atmosphere brimming with excitement. This remarkable print serves as a testament to both history and artistry. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Chichester Photographic Collection (Ref No: CPS 1290/19), it offers us a glimpse into an era when cultural events brought communities together in celebration.
