In the late 1700's Sir Richard Hotham set about creating an up market resort, primarily for the titled members of the landowning upper classes.

climate, Bognor Regis has consistently won awards for its unpolluted sea and clean sand and shingle beaches. Throughout the summer Bognor is host to many popular annual events such as the Birdman Rally, the Sands of Time seaside festival, the Rox music festival and for motoring enthusiasts, the Regis Classic Tour, with classic cars visiting the town. The beautiful cathedral City of Chichester offers a comprehensive range of shopping facilities and an excellent choice of amenities including; a multi-screen cinema, sports centres with swimming pools, and a good selection of restaurants, wine bars and bistros.
