.

An outline of the arrangements for the visit is:-
   1.  the numbers of both cars and visitors will need to be declared 14 days in advance.  There will be an area reserved for Sexmog in the Mill Road Car Park opposite the Castle’s main entrance gate.  Car park charges will apply.
    2. Admission tickets at a discounted price will be:
       (a) £27 per person or,
       (b) £29 if access is wanted to the bedrooms. These might be not available for the date of the visit if required by the Duke for his guests.
    3. The entry ticket covers access to the grounds and gardens which open from 10:00am each day.  The Castle and State Rooms open from 12noon.
    4. The road within the grounds is a little steep in places and a free buggy ride will be available for anyone who might need it.
    5. There is a coffee shop open from 10:00am in the entrance to the Keep where there will be an area set aside for us to meet from, say, 10:30am.
     6. Other refreshment areas are the Castle Cafe open from 11:00am and the Castle Tea Terrace from 10:30am.
     7. Guides will be in all the main rooms.
     8.  The main lift can be used for entry and departure  from the Castle building.  A further lift gives access to the 1st floor State Rooms.  (There is no lift to the 2nd floor Castle bedrooms).
Of course if there is time the delightful town of Arundel is also filled with boutique and antique shops, cafes and restaurants.  Re-entry to the Castle grounds is possible on the day.
There has to be a minimum of 20 persons with a single payment to cover the whole group.  Entry tickets will be available to be collected from the ticket office at the main entrance.  I will need payment a week ahead.
Details of how to pay will be issued closer to the time.
