Join us for an exclusive visit to Arundel Castle & Gardens before they open to the public.
This visit has been organised for 2pm on 20th March, after the "British Flowers Rock" event at Crosslands Nursery, which you can book to attend here.
Refreshments will be at Arundel Museum, which has put together an exhibition on Arundel Castle Gardens, due to be launched later that evening by The Duke & Duchess. We will get there around 3-30pm then come back into the castle grounds to the Water Gardens and make our way back up via the Rose Garden.
Glorious gardens to explore with surprises around each corner
The gardens and landscape are beautiful, inspirational & flow in synergy with the stunning architecture surrounding them. Over the last 20 years the gardens have been transformed led by the Castle’s renowned and highly respected Head Gardener Martin Duncan who’s personal achievement was recognised in 2018 with the award of the Kew Guild Medal.
His team have won numerous awards for the gardens including most recently the Historic Park & Garden of the Year 2024 and the new Horticultural Achievement Award 2024, from South & South East In Bloom, as well as Gold Winner for Small Conservation Area of the Year 2024 for the water gardens, and Gold for the Walled Gardens category.
