Let The Arundel Festival Commence!

As the sun is shining, children are playing and the birds are chirping; here at The Vintage Room, we are getting ready for Arundel Festival! Yesterday, marked exactly a week until the fun kicks-off! An annual 10 day event, packed FULL with different activities and entertainment. Celebrating the beauty of Arundel and the community with in it. There is so much to see and is a key town for tourists. The Arundel castle, Swanbourne Lake and the Antiques shops, are just a few great places to visit in Arundel. Every year the Jubilee Gardens, hosts great bands playing in a picturesque area, for free for everyone to enjoy, which is throughout both weekends.  At Earl Gardens in the castle grounds, the GB Theatre company puts on  two of Shakespeare's classics. This year it is the quirky Twelfth Night, and of course the truly romantic Romeo and Juilet. Thats not all, but inside the castle, in the Baron's Hall, returning for another year is Candlelight Opera, who will be presenting Don Pasquale. In various houses, buildings, shops and galleries, art can be found! The community can volunteer to showcase their hidden talents and can be up for purchase. It's great to wander round Arundel and visit people's homes to view their collections. There is so many Fab things on offer in Arundel, but the best would have to be the last evening. A fireworks extravaganza! Whether  you are viewing from the castle grounds, or lying on the greenery, it is a site not to be missed!  It's not just a spectacular view, but a great atmosphere. Everyone is relaxed and chilled out, and not forgetting the champagne, that is sure to make any evening! This year is bigger than ever. Not just on the last night, but throughout the bank holiday weekend you can hire a hot air balloon! The beauty you would see! The lush green fields, the architecture of the buldings and Swanbourne lake should not be missed; and what a great way to do so!  See Arundel in full!
