Petworth is a small market town and civil parish in the district of Chichester, West Sussex, England. It sits amid rolling downland and broad parkland dominated by Petworth House and its deer park, the country estate famed for an outstanding art collection (including works by Turner) and Capability Brown landscaping; the house and grounds draw many visitors and help shape the town's character.
The historic centre, with Georgian and earlier buildings, supports independent shops, galleries and antiques dealers and a lively programme of markets and arts events such as the annual Petworth Festival. Local life blends tourism, agriculture and small-scale services, and the community is notable for its conservation-minded feel and strong local identity within rural West Sussex.
