Tangmere is a small village and civil parish just north of Chichester in West Sussex, England, sitting on the low-lying plain below the South Downs and close to the Goodwood estate. Its identity is dominated by the former airfield - RAF Tangmere - a prominent Second World War fighter station whose control tower and aircraft displays are preserved at the local aviation museum, making aviation history a visible part of the landscape.
Today the community blends rural life with commuter households and small businesses, and the village retains a strong local spirit around its school, hall and heritage activities. Tourism tied to the aviation museum and nearby attractions brings occasional visitors, while the airfield’s legacy continues to shape Tangmere’s sense of place and local events.
