Explore Worthing at your own pace

A Victorian seaside glamour hides Worthing's buried scandals and unspoken secrets, lingering in shadowed corners just steps from the shore.

This self-guided audio tour invites you to peel back the layers of Worthing, uncovering stories and places skipped by the casual visitor. Stroll at your pace and let each stop reveal the hidden drama beneath tranquil facades.

Which political rebellion once shook the peaceful stands of Worthing F.C.? What midnight disappearance haunts the red velvet seats of the Dome Cinema? Why is a certain medieval graffiti, etched inside St Botolph's Church in Heene, off-limits even to historians?
