The Town is a Cultural Delight
The town centre has long been popular with antique hunters. With antiques centres, a market and plenty of individual antique traders, you can find treasures ranging from high end antique furniture to decorative collectibles. With art galleries, live music and theatre on offer, Arundel is a cultural delight. And when you need a break from exploring the scenic streets, enjoy a meal or afternoon tea next to the river as you watch the river boats glide through the water.
Boats are available for private hire, or you can opt to experience a river cruise, just sitting back and enjoying the picturesque scenery. Any visit to Arundel has to include a tour of the towering medieval castle, with time to relax in the spacious gardens. If you are fortunate enough to be in the town centre with children during August weekends, look out for a range of street entertainment, from tradition Punch and Judy to magic shows. It all culminates in the spectacular Arundel Festival during the final weekend in August.
If you want to tour further afield, there are sandy beaches and clear, clean sea water to enjoy at the nearby resorts of Littlehampton, Bognor Regis and Worthing. The ancient town of Chichester, with a wide range of high street and niche shops to explore, is within easy reach, or you could try your luck at the races with a visit to Fontwell Park.
Amberley Museum is a treat for the whole family, where you can spend a day exploring the industrial heritage of the south east. Watch wheelwrights and traditional cobblers at work, then enjoy a ride on an early bus or the narrow gauge railway. If open country is your preference, the wide green spaces that spread for miles around the town offer plenty of walking, cycling and horse riding trails.
Choose accommodation to suit your taste, from a town centre hotel room with swimming pool, to a peaceful riverside b&b or guest house to the rural charm of a barn conversion. Whatever your choice, you can be sure of cheap accommodation to match your budget.
