Events in Worthing From 13th April – 19th April 2026

This week across Worthing, cultural programming balances intimacy with public engagement, drawing from longstanding traditions and contemporary practices. At Colonnade House near the seafront, an exhibition titled Echoes Through Form features work using reclaimed materials, photographs printed on recycled paper, sculptures made from salvaged metal, and explores themes tied to memory and environmental reuse. These installations are paired with evening soundscapes curated by local DJs who use only physical media: vinyl-only sets recorded live at Saxon Sound in Brighton.

In parallel, genre-specific gatherings take place across temporary venues on the promenade and within community centres near Highdown Gardens. A drum & bass night hosted at The Hub features tracks selected from regional collectives; hip hop sessions are held weekly in partnership with Youth Arts Worthing, focusing on spoken word and beat-making techniques using analog equipment.

Family-friendly options include interactive workshops, such as a collaborative mural project for children aged 6 to 12, and storytelling evenings led by residents of the East Beach area. These events occur at designated spaces including Cissbury Ring community hall and near Play Park, with timings posted via PULSE bus service announcements and on public notice boards.

All performances reflect an emphasis on accessibility: many include audio description for visually impaired attendees; sessions are timed to avoid peak pedestrian traffic along seafront paths during high tide. These moments emerge not as isolated acts but within a broader civic rhythm, where music, visual expression, and local narrative intersect through sustained community participation.
