Description

Arundel Town Hall A Grade II listed luxury wedding venue, nestled within the South Downs and the medieval town of Arundel, West Sussex. Arundel is a beautiful medieval market town known for its magical castle, which stands majestically on its hill top. The Town Hall itself was built in 1836 by the 12th Duke of Norfolk and designed by Robert Abraham. Originally the site was south of Market Square, at the end of Market Street, now Maltravers Street, and close to where the old court house stood. The building has an attractive flint and sandstone façade with arches and flanking towers in Norman style. The Atherley Chamber is a large upstairs room that was used as a ballroom, for concerts and other similar events. The basement had three cells, which from 1844 were used by the county police force, also housing the town fire engines. The Holmes Chamber was added in 1957 to commemorate the Holmes family who served as Mayors and Town Clerks for 200 years. This is where the current Arundel Town Council meet.

Perfect ceremonyPerfect ceremony
We had our ceremony here. Arundel Town hall staff were fantastic from start to finish- Nicole & her team have been so accommodating and although they put on so many weddings each week, we felt we had such a personal experience with the team listening to all our wants & needs and they pulled it off to perfection. Beautiful views both inside and out and it was a great way to kick start our day! We had our ceremony here.

Our wedding day was definitely the best day Our wedding day was definitely the best day
We got married at Arundel Town Hall on 14th May. It was a truly magical experience, which was facilitated by a brilliant team. Sue was brilliant in helping with the organisation before the big day, ensuring that we had everything sorted. She even popped in to see us on the big day, despite not being down to work, which was lovely (and she helped with the button holes etc...). Sadie did a great job on the day with keeping everything on track. We benefited from wonderful weather, so we enjoyed a We got married at Arundel Town Hall on 14th May.
