The day featured live music from musicians Trevor Wyatt, Marvin Ford and Chichester’s Renegade Dogs.
Hundreds participated in the events including free face painting, as well as workshops and games provided by the 1st Arundel Scout troop.
Lots of lucky children even got to try their hand as town crier. It proved a big hit, as they donned the ceremonial hat under the watchful eye of Arundel mayor and town crier Angela Standing.
Mrs Standing said: “It was lovely to see so many people enjoying themselves on such a sunny afternoon.”
