Tuck into mouthwatering barbecue from Ditch Brisket, indulgent mac and cheese from Mac Daddy, or fresh West African favourites from Mama Sheila’s Kitchen. Saltio brings the rich culinary heritage of Mexico, while Podgers offers street food classics—think burgers, hotdogs, tacos and sliders, all made with flair. Grab a loaded bagel from Mr Bagel, satisfy your sweet tooth with vegan doughnuts from Cat Burglar Dough Co, and cool off with handcrafted gelato from G-Lite Worthing. For a caffeine kick, TruBru Nitro Coffee delivers smooth, cold-brewed drinks with a twist.

Thank you to our sponsors
We are very grateful for the significant financial support of our Headline Sponsor Bowers & Wilkins, our Main Sponsors AudioActive and the HandBrew Co, and grant funding from Arts Council England.

We look forward to developing the Festival and Fringe with them in the future, and to putting Worthing firmly on the UK cultural map.

Festival Artist: Michele Payne
Michele explores abstract-expressionism with an aim to create playful, intuitive paintings that are experiments with colour, pattern, form and mark-making.There are often symbolic shapes and details included in her work that speak of her memories, family or feelings or evoke imagined, wished-for landscapes. Predominantly using acrylic on canvas, wood or paper, she enjoys incorporating elements of embroidery and printing too.
