Arundel's Victorian Christmas

From 4pm the town fills with live music, costumed Victorian performers and street entertainment, with mulled wine and mince pies to keep you warm. The independent shops and eateries stay open too, so it works well as an early bit of Christmas shopping and a bite to eat.

At 5.30pm a lantern procession sets off. The Christmas lights are switched on at around 6pm, and the evening finishes with carols around the tree. Worthing Silver Band and choirs from local schools, St Nicholas' Church and Arundel Cathedral will be singing. Father Christmas and his helpers will be there for the little ones.

Good to know: There's a 'Be a Secret Santa' appeal for toys, hampers and food vouchers, if you'd like to donate.
