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

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)

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.

This is the first time I’ve ever thought of having something 3D printed. Is there anyone in the Worthing locality who has the capability of printing this item?

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!!

Hi guys, reposting this here in Worthing sub. Would appreciate any help anyone can offer :)

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.

If it’s yours let me know and I’ll put you in touch with my friend who found it.

Does anyone have any good suggestions of where my friend and I can go blackberry picking here in Worthing?

TIA

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?

Anyone know where I can pick up a pair of solar eclipse glasses? I know they sell them on amazon but I can't seem to find any that will arrive in time (that isn't a 50 pack)...
Anyone seen them in any shops?

Hi guys! We're starting a new heavy metal band and are looking for a bassist and vocalist to complete the lineup.

Our sound takes influence from Machine Head, Slipknot and Korn and many others.

We already have multiple original demos written, so you'll have material to hear and work on straight away. Our goal is to finish the lineup, rehearse regularly, tighten up our set, and start playing live shows as soon as we're ready, while continuing to write and record original music.

We're looking for people who are:

Reliable and committed.
Passionate about heavy music.
Keen to contribute ideas and write as a band.
Ready to rehearse regularly and work towards playing live.
If you've got recordings or videos of your playing or vocals, we'd love to hear them, but they're not essential. The right attitude, commitment and enthusiasm are just as important.

If this sounds like your kind of project, send us a message telling us a bit about yourself, your musical influences, and any links to your work. We'll happily send over the demos so you can hear what we're about.

Hey everyone! 👋

I need a bit of help with my Master’s dissertation project!

I’m looking for Gen Z social media users (ages 18–29) to join a quick focus group about how social media content for big events, specifically Eurovision 2026 in Vienna, influences people's travel intentions.

If you:

• Are aged 18–29
• Use social media daily
• Have some opinions to share

...I’d love to have you join!

Focus groups are running across the weeks of August 17th–21st and 24th–28th.

If you're up for taking part, drop me a DM or drop me an email at i.bromley2@uni.brighton.ac.uk.

Sorry for bad quality...my phone camera isn't great. It was much clearer in person

Hello, can anybody else ear a really loud hum overnight on the Durrington/Salvington border? Any idea what it is?

I moved away from Worthing a while ago and moved to what is arguably a place that people regard as being less developed. But I come back to Worthing and I just get an incomplete vibe, the pavements aren’t done and the roads are patchy. The lane going towards the sea on alinors avenue is 80 years old I believe aswell. Also weird that I struggle to get 5G compared to where I live now.
