This year our Lent Lunch will once again be raising funds for Family Support Work. FSW helps families in Sussex to overcome their difficulties and prevent crises. They support families struggling with issues such as poverty, ill health, learning difficulties, bereavement, family break-up and domestic abuse. FSW offers intensive support via home-visits, group work and community based activities.

Mass at 12 Noon, followed by lunch at approximately 12.45pm. The lunch consists of soups (homemade), breads, and cheeses, and we ask that you make a donation to FSW.

Please let the Parish Office know if you would like to attend lunch.

If you would like to make an online donation, simply use the link below. Thank you.

All proceeds go toward The Friends of St Nicholas, a local charity that supports the maintenance and restoration of Arundel's fourteenth century parish church.

More information on the Friends is available here.

Tickets online via the link below or from the Parish Office.

We are delighted that we have another service of Choral Evensong for The Friends of St Nicholas' followed by drinks in the Collector Earl's Garden by kind permission of His Grace the Duke of Norfolk.

This will be a wonderful opportunity to give thanks to God for the work of the Friends in supporting our parish church and a great chance to have a tour of the Collector Earl's garden led by a member of the Castle garden team.

Evensong is open to all, of course, but you'll need a ticket to visit the gardens afterwards. Tickets are available now from the Parish Office (01903 882266 /Email) or online or after the 10 o'clock services at St Nicholas'.

When visiting the garden please be aware of uneven surfaces/pathways, protruding vegetation, steps/changes in level and that the ground can be slippery if wet.

The evening begins at 5.00 pm with evensong in St Nicholas', Arundel's historic parish church. Following the service there are drinks (paid) in the neighbouring Collector Earl's garden along with nibbles and music by The Featherstone Jazz 4. A tour of the garden is also available.

All proceeds from the even go to The Friends of St Nicholas, a charity set up to support the restoration and maintenance of the church.
