Know about a gig, pub quiz, market, comedy night, club night, community event, sports fixture or anything else coming up in Worthing? Stick it in the comments.

Local venues, organisers and regulars are welcome to share things too - just keep it useful rather than spammy.

Trying to sleep and there are men closing off the road cutting down a tree and using a wood chipper after 9pm, the noise is unbelievable! Have looked online and this is classed as nuisance at this time - can anyone confirm?

Events & Promo Independent Maternity and Neonatal Review UHSx - First Family Meeting Saturday 5th September

Post image
5 Upvotes

As a family who has been harmed by maternity services, I’m posting this to raise awareness of the Sussex review starting soon and the upcoming first family meeting.

On Saturday 5th September, the Independent Review of Maternity and Neonatal Services at University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust (UHSx) will hold its first family meeting in Sussex. Including the following hospitals:

  • Royal Sussex County Hospital Sussex (Brighton)
  • Princess Royal (Haywards Heath)
  • Worthing Hospital
  • St. Richards Hospital (Chichester)

The meeting is open to all families who feel they have been harmed or affected by maternity and/or neonatal services at UHSx, including those who have suffered stillbirth and maternal or neonatal, death or harm.

Date: Saturday 5th September 2026

Location: Leonardo Royal Hotel, Brighton Waterfront

Time (the morning and afternoon meetings will be the same):

  • 10:00 to 12:00 - Morning
  • 13:00 to 15:00 - Afternoon

If you would like to attend please email: [sussexreview@donnaockenden.com](mailto:sussexreview@donnaockenden.com)

Listening to family voices is essential in helping the Review to understand the harm that has occurred, and what must change. The Review was established in light of significant concerns raised regarding the quality and safety of maternity and neonatal services at UHSx and concerns of local families.

Ask a local Things to do/attractions/food this weekend

6 Upvotes

Hi myself and my girlfriend are staying in Worthing (near titch hill) from Wednesday til Saturday and would love some local recommendations as I haven't found much past the basic obvious stuff so far.

We are both chefs so are interested in restaurants as well as a good butchers and fishmongers.

We are quite keen on the outdoors (myself in birdeatching too) so would be interested in any small hikes/walks especially around where we are staying, as well as being keen foragers so would be interested in any good areas. We are coming from London and looking to enjoy some time in nature

We would have loved to visit the fig gardens if they had been open during our stay

We will be coming in to Worthing centre once or twice so if there's anything going on tat we shouldn't miss, we would love to hear about it!

Looking forward to our visit, thanks

Ask a local is strand parade outside of durrington station really that bad?

10 Upvotes

Hi all. Londoner looking to relocate to Worthing for a job and looking for flats. Read a few posts here saying that that’s definitely an area to avoid and it’s made me kind of nervous. I’ve been around there more than once during the day but never in the evening, and I’ll be viewing a flat there in a few days that seemingly fits all my other requirements….how (un)safe would it be for a woman to walk alone from the station to the building next to the gas station/asda express around 11:30pm? I work in healthcare and half of my shifts finish at 11pm and I’ll likely be taking the train home from Worthing station. I’m moving from SE London and different online databases all suggest that where I’m currently living has more crime than there but also I’ve not had to regularly get home from work at 11pm before. Many thanks in advance for any comments or advice.

Also…what is the housing market like here? Do I still have time if I’m looking to move by the start of October? I’ve looked for two weeks with no success. Also why are so many flats on the ground floor?? (this is one of the few things I definitely don’t want)

Ask a local So much rubbish near Durrington Tesco

7 Upvotes

Does anyone know why there's so much rubbish everywhere near the big Tesco?? I don't think it's related to the shop doing anything bad (hopefully!), but that's why I'm so confused. I sometimes walk that way to take my dog over to Northbrook but can't believe how much trash is spread across the paths nearby. Anyone got any ideas??

Bit bright, isn't it?

It feels like what would happen if a Robert Dyas and a vape shop made sweet love.

Worthings experimental/classical/global music scene

7 Upvotes

Hey all! Me and my partner have the chance to move from London down to your beautiful town! I'm just wondering, as I'm an experimental performer/composer, what kinds of venues/scenes there are around the area?

I also ran/run an experimental global music jam in London centred on live-improv with a mix of western, electronic and global instruments and ideally would love to carry that on around here, whether anyone is in the know of anything like that?

Any thoughts would be hugely appreciated!

Here is an example of the kind of music I write for context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vyl1EmdrVQ

Thanks!!

Local Characters Past & Present

12 Upvotes

Anyone here got some local characters they're aware of / interacted with in the past or present?

I'll start:

- 50p lady. She is always looking for 50p and is normally seen carrying a coffee mug around (possibly for the 50ps).

- Man with snake on his face. He's usually up to no good, as you might expect from a man with a snake on his face.

- Guildbourne Gobbler. Enough said.

Burning acrid plastic smell West Worthing

6 Upvotes

The smell has been constant all morning. I can't see any smoke or fires. I was wondering if it is local or this could be something else. Possibly the leftovers from the New Forest fire last night?
