ARUNDEL Castle has had yet another bumper year.
It attracted four per cent more visitors during its 2017 open season than in 2016.
A packed schedule of events drew crowds throughout the season, including the six-day Jousting and Medieval Tournament, one of the longest events of its kind in the world.
Arundel Tulip Festival saw tens of thousands of flowers bloom throughout the gardens.
This year’s festival was the largest yet at the castle with 36,000 tulips blooming.
Castle manager Stephen Manion said: “It’s a real thrill to see that Arundel Castle continues to draw in increasing numbers of visitors from across the UK and the rest of the world.
“With 950 years of history and a packed calendar of events there really is something for everyone and it’s great to see that more and more people are discovering what a fantastic place Arundel Castle is.”
