Weekend round up: Arundel Castle

How quick has the week gone! It's great having a bank holiday weekend and then a lovely short week afterwards. Even though I didn't have to wait long for the weekend to arrive again, I couldn't wait to meet up with my lovely friends from university and take a trip to Arundel Castle. 

If you ever get the chance to go I would definitely recommend it, as it is so beautiful and well worth the money. Our Gold Plus ticket (with gift aid) cost £19.80, which included access to the castle bedrooms, the main castle rooms, the castle keep, the Fitzalan Chapel, the gardens and the grounds. When you pay gift aid you get double your donation back in the form of a voucher, which you can spend in the coffee shop, restaurant or gift shop. 

'Built at the end of the 11th century, it has been the family home of the Dukes of Norfolk and their ancestors for nearly 1000 years', Arundel Castle brochure.

Here are a few pictures of our time yesterday at the Castle. For dinner we made our own pizzas and then headed off out to the pub. A perfect weekend, all in all.
