We attended one at West Wittering which was great and totally So summer is finally here, yippee! We had an on again, eye opening for us as well as kids as to how off again, false start to spring but we managed to make many tiny pieces of plastic we found in such a the most of the mini weekend heatwaves and enjoy the short period- especially at one of the cleanest sunshine. For photographers, the arrival of the spring beaches around. While the ‘cleans’ are great flowers, daffodils, bluebells and the fields of rapeseed for raising awareness, we’re now also making is always a welcome gift- it’s like New Year for us! And sure we encourage our children to pick up it should come as no surprise that the kids and I got plastic whenever we go to the beach- or outside as much as possible. anywhere outside in fact! ‘Five pieces of litter in five minutes’ is our rule of thumb and it’s We’ve been busy in the garden, building them a easy for them to remember. If we all did that, treehouse and making a start on the veggie patch. imagine the impact we could have here in Arundel! We’re always looking to keep costs low of course as well as becoming increasingly environmentally conscious, As I write this, the Castle is opening up for the Tulip looking to reuse and recycle materials for this kind of Festival and the Lido launch is just days away, so project as much as possible. So one of our go to spots summer will not be too far behind. As usual our town locally for materials is Aldingbourne Trust, just near has a lot going on for families both in the run up to and Fontwell off the A27. You’re probably familiar with during the school holidays. Most excitingly, there are the farm and kids activities which are always a fun some fabulous plans being shared for the new design (and reasonably priced) day out- but less well known of Mill Road playpark. With a castle themed climbing is the wood yard at the back. They have recycled and frame at the centre of the plans, the new play park will reclaimed wood of all shapes and sizes collected from definitely be a welcome addition to the already popular house clearances and unused building materials so for children’s spot. something like a treehouse project it’s definitely worth a visit. The Lido has stepped up its summer schedule up-the South Coast Mermaids are available for swimming lessons; a really creative way to learn how to swim- with the addition of a mermaid tail attached to your legs! Classes are on Thursday early evenings, perfect for pre-teens. For other summer holiday activities at the Lido, the Active Academies Junior Run and Swim Camp is a good option for exhausting even the most active of children. There are two camps scheduled, one on the 29th-31st July and 12th-14th August. Go to the Active Academies website to book. Also don’t forget about the hugely popular parent and toddler sessions from 10am until noon on Wednesday mornings during term time and Sid the Sub Inflatable Sessions every Sunday morning from 10am- 11.30am throughout the summer- top tip for the inflatables session, get there early! 53

We just plan to absolutely not move our car during the Festival period and walk everywhere. Finally, the biggest moment in our town’s summer For those visiting the town, please think about where calendar, and the thing we’re most looking forward to, you leave your car and be aware of tight corners and is the Arundel Festival. We always have so much fun at narrow streets. all the events, watching the live music, seeing the street 6. Do the Gallery Trail alone! My final piece of advice performers and spotting the sculptures throughout doesn’t involve the children at all. I love the Gallery town. While the schedule specifics are yet to be Trail but it’s something best enjoyed without the little released at the time of writing, as a family with young ones. The beautiful old houses of Arundel are often children the town can get pretty crazy over the Festival filled with matching antiques and knick-knacks that period and the number of events on offer can be quite seem to be irresistible to little hands. I advise you save overwhelming! So I thought I’d share six of our tips to an hour or two to do the tour alone for a lot more enjoying the Festival with little people in tow… relaxing experience! 1. Tackle the Festival in bite size chunks. While our town 55 is small and, in the days before kids, we could easily skip through the Festival in one day, for little people to enjoy all the elements we try and split it up into bite size chunks. Heading to the Jubilee Gardens stage one afternoon, Tarrant Street another day. Going slowly through the Festival programme means the children really get involved in each element and we can take the time to sit back and spot all the little things going on we might otherwise miss. It also means we can have the Festival on our summer holiday agenda for a number of days- not just done in one! 2. Make camp in one spot. We normally head to the Festival knowing our friends also with children are going to be in and around town so we have a spot in mind that we all head to at some point; around the Victoria Institute is our usual place (say hello if you see us!). Friends come and go but having our camp means there’s always someone to take a little one to the loo or get snacks from Larkins. 3. Know where their next meal is coming from- anyone with kids knows it’s always good to have an idea where you’re going to feed them! We’ve been caught out before with some of the food stalls closing earlier than expected or not particularly kid friendly meals on offer. So to avoid just getting by on salt and vinegar crisps all day, our favourites are to get a Pizza Express takeaway and eat it at the Kings Arms- bonus points for drinks for the parents while the kids eat! A mild curry from the excellent India Gate food stall is also a
