There really is so much to see and do –

The Opening Flag raising ceremony takes place on Saturday 17th August when there will be street entertainment with lots of singing, dancing, markets and fashion shows.

The Arundel Gallery Trail is a regular favourite and Words Music and Wine is back as is a wonderful selection of theatre and drama throughout the town.

Another favourite is the Duck Race which has to be seen to be believed when some 2000 little yellow ducks ‘jump’ off the bridge into the River Arun!

There’s even an It’s a Knockout UK Challenge so get a team together and give it a go! It will be a fun filled whirlwind of an event with wacky challenges and lots of water involved so get a team together and go for it!

A new event this year is Out of the Deep Blue which features a 13 foot sea giant puppet! You literally won’t be able to miss that! And why not go to the open air cinema?

ABBAMAGIC! Is back on the Arundel High Street and this will make you a Dancing Queen for the night!
