What When Where - new look events guide is out now!
 The Events Guide has taken on a completely new look; a bigger size, the guide will now be produced seasonally. The first guide was for the spring: April & May. The summer edition for June, July & August is out now. Editions for autumn & Christmas will be available later in the year.
The guide is being widely distributed throughout the district and County, it’s available to view and download on the VisitWorthing website and it’s available at both of the new Visitor Information Points.
The guide has been one of the first jobs for Jo Osborne, the Councils new Events & Tourism Manager, and she’s keen to hear what you think about it. Please email your comments to events@adur-worthing.gov.uk.

The campaign website also features local accommodation and food/drink businesses who welcome walkers and cyclists by providing facilities such as secure cycle storage, washing/drying facilities and easy access to walking and cycling routes.
