welcome... I hope you have all had a wonderful summer, enjoying the vast array of events and shows that were on offer across Adur & Worthing. I am writing this following the brand new Street Velodrome event which was a fantastic weekend and hopefully many of you got to enjoy it too. As we enter into Autumn, the weather may be turning cooler but there is still plenty going on, both indoors and outside. Catch the last of the summer at the Findon Sheep Fair & Village Festival. This will be a first for me and I’m looking forward to it!
October is the month for fans of all genres of music, when Worthing Live takes over. Choose to see Russell Watson, or members of Ocean Colour Scene at The Pavilion Theatre, there is something for everyone. November is of course fireworks season - Tide of Lights in Worthing and Shoreham Beach Family bonfire. If fireworks aren’t your thing, Lancing will be lit up at the end of the month when Sea of Lights takes place. Finally, I won’t mention the C word yet, but look out for our special Christmas edition of What When Where - oops, I said it! Jo Osborne Events Manager Adur & Worthing Councils
