Dominated by its magnificent castle and cathedral, this historic market town blends heritage with contemporary creativity. Browse art galleries, antiques, artisan food shops and welcoming cafés before wandering riverside paths or discovering events that bring the town to life throughout the year.
Discover iconic landmarks, peaceful riverside walks, independent shops, galleries and seasonal events that showcase Arundel's rich heritage and creative spirit.
