Arundells, the historic Salisbury home of Sir Edward Heath, is delighted and immensely proud to announce that it has won the Visitor Experience Award, sponsored by Salisbury Reds, at the 2025 Salisbury Business Excellence Awards.
This award recognizes businesses in Salisbury and the surrounding areas that demonstrate exceptional enthusiasm and commitment to delivering the very best experience for visitors.
The judges' comments highlighted the unique charm and impressive offerings of Arundells, stating, "Ivan and the Arundells team show authentic, thoughtful and, really, just wonderful customer service.
They have taken this beautiful house and established it as a precious gem competing with the top attractions in Salisbury. It has the warmth of a living home but with literature, political interest and musical performance thrown in. Arundells is both charming but impressive at the same time with an array of incredible events and artwork. A very worthy recipient of The Visitor Experience Award."
The award was received on behalf of Arundells by Luke Futcher (Events and Marketing Manager), Grace Clark, Denise Lord, and Hazel Marks, who attended the prestigious awards ceremony dinner.
Ivan Smith, Manager of Arundells, said, "We are absolutely thrilled and deeply honoured to receive this prestigious award. It is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion of our entire team – staff and volunteers alike – who strive every day to create a welcoming, enriching, and memorable experience for everyone who visits Arundells. To be recognized amongst such esteemed organizations in Salisbury is a fantastic achievement, and we are incredibly grateful to the judges and Salisbury Reds for this recognition."
This award underscores Arundells' commitment to providing a unique and engaging visitor experience, blending the personal history of Sir Edward Heath with its exceptional collections, beautiful setting, and vibrant program of events.
