There are a whole host of activities to enjoy in Arundel. There is something for everyone from ghost tours to museums and river cruises. With so much history condensed into such a modest sized town it is both an interesting and educational place to visit. Arundel also has an excellent farmers market, held on the 3rd Saturday of each month. Enjoy the local fare and wander around the historic town and shops.

Make the most of the river - accessed by a proposed slipway and pontoon and cruise towards the Black Rabbit pub or further north to Amberley. Alternatively visit and use the rowing boats on Swanbourne Lake in Arundel Park.  Arundel is also home to the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, where there are thousands of ducks, geese and swans including rare and migratory birds.

Events in Arundel

For the more energetic visitor to Arundel, there is Mill Road Leisure & Sports Park with putting greens and tennis courts. Swim in the Arundel Lido - one of the most scenic open air heated swimming pool in Britain (open summer only). For fishing enthusiasts, there’s river fishing on the Arun and Trout fishing on four spring-fed lakes at Chalk Springs Fishery. Arundel Farm Riding & Driving Centre also offers riding in the countryside for experienced accompanied riders or lessons for the inexperienced.     

For those in need of some respite from all the activities, relax in Arundel’s Town Centre with a cream tea or a leisurely stroll around the many galleries, antiques and specialist shops.
