Part conversation, part local noticeboard and part nosy peek behind the scenes, the Visit Arundel Podcast celebrates the people, places, stories and experiences that make Arundel such a special place to visit, live and spend time.
Hosted by Mark and Caroline Winship, each episode gets under the skin of the town through relaxed conversations with the fascinating people who help make Arundel tick. Expect independent business owners, chefs and hospitality heroes, artists and makers, community characters, event organisers, local experts and plenty of familiar faces, along with a few people and stories you might not have discovered yet.
Mark and Caroline have been visiting and enjoying Arundel for more than 20 years through family, festivals, weekends away and countless return visits. They now call the area home and are the people behind Sefton Place, their boutique aparthotel and retreat venue just outside Arundel. The podcast gives them the perfect excuse to indulge their curiosity, meet more of the people behind the town and share what they discover along the way.
We will talk food and drink, things to do in Arundel, independent shops, history, art and culture, local events, the South Downs, countryside and walking, sport, hospitality, community life and the hidden corners of Arundel and West Sussex that deserve a little more attention.
There will be recommendations, behind the scenes stories, local knowledge, plenty of personality and a regular look at what is on in and around Arundel. Whether you are planning your first visit, returning for another weekend, or you are lucky enough to live locally, there should always be something new to discover.

]]>In this episode of the Visit Arundel Podcast, Mark and Caroline head to Tarrant Street to meet Lucie Conoley and Skye Maddox, the team behind Fleurs of Litchfield.
Having transformed their new shop in just a matter of weeks, Lucie and Skye tell us how an artist and illustrator and a lifelong horticulturist ended up becoming business partners, creating a flower farm in Madehurst and ultimately opening their own floristry and horticultural hub in the heart of Arundel.
We talk about the realities of growing and sourcing British flowers, why working seasonally is not always as simple as it sounds, and the huge amount of work that goes on behind the scenes before a beautiful bunch of flowers reaches the shop.
We also discover why Fleurs loves the more unusual creative briefs. From wedding installations and disco balls to garlands made from radishes, Lucie and Skye are happiest when somebody gives them permission to do something a little different.
And the shop itself is only the beginning. Hidden behind Tarrant Street is a secret walled garden which they hope to turn into a space for workshops, horticulture, gatherings and unique food and flower experiences.
Along the way, we talk creativity, gardening, pollinators, the incredible welcome they have received from the Arundel community and why they believe Fleurs can become much more than simply a florist.
And, of course, Lucie and Skye face our Pallant Picnic Question and reveal where they would head for their perfect picnic in and around Arundel, and who they would take with them.

]]>One couple. One restaurant. Four bedrooms. Eighteen covers. Up to ten courses.
For the very first episode of the Visit Arundel Podcast, we meet Matt and Jenni Price, the husband-and-wife team behind The Town House Restaurant with Rooms in the heart of Arundel.
Matt and Jenni share the story of the careers, adventures and slightly brave decisions that eventually brought them to Arundel to create a restaurant and rooms entirely in their own image.
We hear about Matt's journey through some remarkable kitchens, including a memorable trial at Eleven Madison Park in New York, then ranked the world's best restaurant. We discover how their two-year-old son's excitement at finding blackberries inspired a new dessert, and why ingredients, provenance and supporting local producers are so central to Matt's cooking.
"We have a responsibility to champion the value of reducing food miles and the quality of what people are actually making... growing nearby.
Jenni takes us behind the scenes of their very personal approach to hospitality – from the restaurant and its beautiful historic setting to the four bedrooms above – and explains why every detail of the guest experience matters.
There is also a little exclusive: Matt and Jenni reveal that The Town House has just been awarded two AA Rosettes, the maximum available on a first inspection.
Along the way we talk about working together as husband and wife, the realities of opening a hospitality business, why they chose Arundel almost a decade before the opportunity arose, and the extraordinary community they have found since arriving.
"Ultimately, it is just us working together. It is two of us rattling around a five-storey townhouse."
And, of course, we finish with our Pallant of Arundel Picnic Question: if you could picnic anywhere in or around Arundel, where would you go and who would you take? Expect David Attenborough, Hiorne Tower, sandwiches and one rather lovely answer involving their two-year-old son.
