Summer Fete

St Nicholas' annual summer fete was on Saturday 29th June.

The fete was opened by Lord Henry, Earl of Arundel, and songs by Arundel CE School.

People from across the parish and visitors to the town all enjoyed a day of fun, music, bargains and food. It was a happy, even joyful occasion, full of sunshine and smiles.

Early indications suggest that the fete raised around £10,000 towards the running and upkeep of Arundel's parish church.
