Welcome to our first walking festival. Promoting Sussex Day and encouraging healthy walking, community spirit and our area as an area of outstanding natural beauty.

A SERIES OF WALKS FOR ALL AGES AND ABILITIES ACROSS THE Worthing to Bognor and Chichester area and up to Midhurst and Horsham with ARUNDEL at its heart

Walks across and along the downs, around villages, and along the coast,

Serious walks, fun walks, easy and difficult, long and short.

Our principal charity is the Snowdrop Trust, all money raised, through sponsorship, payment for each walker or donation will be presented to the Trust after the event. ARUNDEL Historic Walks are pleased to be arranging this event for the community at ARUNDEL and also the wider public. Promotion of the event will be across all platforms and will include leaflet drops, posters, press releases, on the web and through tourism outlets. We hope to organise around 50 walks over the three days and include walks for all abilities, from disabled to professional walkers, for children and elderly.
