Arundel Festival 2026

Our First Arundel Festival at The Town House Restaurant with Rooms

There is something rather special about August in Arundel.
For 49 years, the Arundel Festival has brought the town to life with an extraordinary celebration of arts, culture, music, food, wine and entertainment. This year feels particularly special for us at The Town House Restaurant with Rooms, as it marks our very first Arundel Festival as proprietors of this wonderful historic property.
Having recently become part of the Arundel community, we are incredibly excited to open our doors and join in the celebrations — and what better way to do so than with an evening dedicated to exceptional English sparkling wine and fine dining?

A Wine Makers Dinner

As part of the festival's wonderful food and wine programme, we are delighted to welcome guests for an intimate Wine Makers Dinner on Saturday 29th August at 7pm.
Chef Patron Matthew Price has created a six-course tasting menu especially for the evening, with each course thoughtfully paired with a selection of five flagship sparkling wines from Digby Fine English.
The evening will be co-hosted by Trevor Clough, co-founder and Head Blender of Digby Fine English, alongside Matthew and Jenni Price.
Together, they will take guests on a journey through the craft, character and complexity of English sparkling wine, exploring how each wine complements Matthew's precise, ingredient-led cuisine.
It promises to be an evening of discovery, conversation and exceptional food and wine.

An Evening in History

The setting could hardly be more atmospheric.
The Town House sits proudly on Arundel's historic High Street, and guests will dine beneath our remarkable 600-year-old Florentine ceiling, surrounded by the character and history of this beautiful Georgian townhouse.
For one evening, the centuries-old setting will provide the backdrop for a celebration of modern English wine and contemporary fine dining.
Six courses.
Five exceptional English sparkling wines.
Three passionate hosts.
One very special evening.
The Wine Makers Dinner takes place on Saturday 29th August at 7pm, as part of the 49th Arundel Festival.
Spaces are strictly limited, with only a couple of tables remaining. Pre-booking is essential.

Stay and Experience Arundel Festival

Of course, the Arundel Festival is about far more than one evening.
With a wonderful programme of arts, music, entertainment, food and wine taking place throughout the town, there is plenty to discover — so why not make a stay of it?
Throughout the festival, our four uniquely decorated bedrooms will be available for guests who want to experience everything Arundel has to offer.
Each room has its own individual character and charm, tucked within our historic Georgian townhouse. After a day or evening exploring the festival, you can retreat upstairs and enjoy the comfort and tranquillity of your own room, right in the heart of Arundel.
And if you are joining us for the Wine Makers Dinner, there is no need to worry about travelling home afterwards. Simply head upstairs and continue the evening at your leisure.

A New Chapter for The Town House

For us, this year's festival represents the beginning of an exciting new chapter.
We are proud to have become part of the Arundel community and are looking forward to experiencing the energy, creativity and wonderful atmosphere that makes the Arundel Festival so unique.
Whether you're visiting for the arts, joining us for an exceptional dinner, discovering the town for the first time, or simply looking for somewhere special to stay, we would love to welcome you to The Town House Restaurant with Rooms.
Here's to our first Arundel Festival — and to raising a glass to this wonderful town and the community we are now so proud to be part of.
