Tips & Advice

  • Arrive at opening to see the Worthing Town Crier and the Worthing Mayor open the fair.
  • If the 70-space car park is full, use the on-street parking in the surrounding streets, which is free.
  • Bring some cash for the suggested entry donation and the St Barnabas House raffle, because both raise money for the local hospice.
  • Do your gift shopping here, because most stallholders are local makers selling one-off handmade pieces you won't find on the high street.
  • Bring the kids for face painting, and don't worry about the weather, because the whole venue is undercover.
