Arundel Festival of the Arts

From 16 Aug 24 12:00 PM to 26 Aug 24 4:00 PM

Join us for the 46th annual Arundel Festival of the Arts, a beloved summer tradition celebrating a full range of arts and music in our historic town. This family-friendly event, entirely run by volunteers, unites residents, community groups, local businesses, and attractions to host uplifting events for the entire community.

From Friday, August 16th to Monday, August 26th, experience a vibrant mix of visual arts, drama, music, dance, comedy, and street entertainment from exceptionally talented local and national artists. Wander through our historic streets and enjoy magicians, circus skills, face painting, dance, music, and cultural displays.

Highlighting the festival is the Arundel Gallery Trail, an annual event at the end of August that transforms our beautiful West Sussex town into an open gallery. Over 100 artists and makers open their studios, homes, and galleries to visitors, offering a unique insight into their creative processes. This walkable art event is free to all.

The Arundel Festival of the Arts fosters community spirit and participation, blending creativity and camaraderie through a diverse celebration of music and arts over ten days. Families and young people can enjoy performances by talented local musicians and street artists, all set against the charming backdrop of our town's shops, bars, and houses. Celebrate with us and be part of this charitable community event.
