Worthing Festival & Fringe

About

This June we're celebrating the rich heritage and creative talents of our community with a newly-designed Worthing Festival and Fringe, bringing together the unique cultural and natural assets of Worthing – and you're all invited!

The heart of the Festival is a free, family-friendly music festival taking place in the natural setting of Homefield Park on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd June from 11am to 9pm, featuring live music across three stages, music and art installations celebrating nature, circus and dance performers, activities for kids and a variety of tasty local food and drink. The skatepark will be hosting skateboarding lessons and a fun skate jam, and there'll be a display of top of the range audio systems in luxury cars, courtesy of leading international audio brand Bowers & Wilkins.
The theme of this year's Festival is 'Let's grow this town together', a nod to the rich horticultural heritage of Worthing, as well as the role of the arts in developing local talent and supporting the creative community. The AudioActive Youth Stage will feature young musicians such as Maxwell D, Louie Lavack and Lilly Wolfe, while the Discovery Stage will showcase solo artists and emerging talent. The main Park Stage will have a family-friendly lineup of local and international music including solo artists, bands and choirs such as Spring into Soul, Laura Vane, Son Guranchando, Yumi & the Weather, The Jones Street Boys and Papa Linos & Nhasitafara.
As well as the Festival in the Park daytime event, which will run from 11am to 9pm, the main Festival weekend will feature a series of evening after-parties and DJ sets spread across the pubs and clubs in the town on the Saturday night, creating a vibrant atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.
The Festival Fringe will run throughout June at venues across the town centre, and includes a wide range of music, theatre, circus and dance performances, heritage walks and talks, visual arts, exhibitions and art installations.
