A MAJOR sponsor could help to ensure this year's Rox takes place in Bognor Regis.

The Sir Richard Hotham Project development company has offered to back the free music and arts festival this summer.

Thomas Elliott, the company’s managing director, said he wanted to ensure the event, of which he had been a fan for many years, continued in spite of a funding shortfall.

“I feel it’s really important to support Rox. The Sir Richard Hotham Project is all about entertainment with the 1,100 seat new theatre proposals and working with the University of Chichester and Arun Arts.

“I would want us to support Rox if we can. We are willing to fill their entire shortfall if they want us to,” he said.

He is meeting Rox organisers today to discuss his offer of support.
