Christmas in Worthing

Worthing is getting ready for Christmas and this year there is so much going on.

Friday November 22nd

Christmas Lights are switched on  – Worthing doesn’t hold a switch on event because the lights are fed from so many different power sources it isn’t possible to switch them on together without a huge investment in infrastructure resulting in a lot less lights.

The Christmas Lights are funded by the Worthing Town Centre Initiative with business contributions and this year more than ever it is important to show your thanks by supporting your Worthing traders.  Adur & Worthing Councils fund the Christmas Trees in South Street and outside the Town Hall and historically the Rotary Club have funded the Montague Place tree but there have been issues with the tree being damaged by the wind and so it has been decided not to install this tree in 2019.

Friday November 29th

The launch of the Worthing Toy Soldier Trail with 10 to find around the town.   Collect all the names and pop your trail map and entry form into Santa’s post box at the junction of Montague Street and Montague Place or post to 12 The Steyne, Worthing, West Sussex BN11 3DS.  Pick up a trail map from locations around the town or CLICK HERE to download.

The trail runs from November 29th to December 22nd with the draw for prizes taking place on 23rd December.

Don’t have time to find them all, or love a Selfie, then take your picture with a soldier and upload it to Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #worthingsoldiers.  The best picture will win an instant camera.
