THE STATE OF WORTHING
Don’t dream it, be it
Having vision takes guts. Taking your passion and
translating it, putting it out there for other people to
discover, judge and comment upon can be scary.

THIS MONTH A GROUP OF FIFTEEN AND SIXTEEN year olds exhibit their work at
Colonnade House, part of Durrington High School’s impressive 100% pass rate year on year
for Art & Design. Elsewhere in our town we’ve got new bars springing up like The
Whisk(e)y Rooms, new eateries like Pitch, new projects like Neptune’s Larder, exhibitions
like Hut which take trash and turn it into recycled treasure. Worthing Pride returns for a
second year, bigger and brighter than ever, while later this year Tide of Light returns after a
year off. All these events, and many many more, are built on the hopes and imaginations of
local people, the dreamers, the risk takers who gambled and hoped it might pay off. We’re
proud that they call Worthing home. Let’s celebrate them this month.
THE GRIZZLY BEAR
THE OLD BAKEHOUSE
Let’s go to Tarring!
IF YOU’VE EVER WHILED AWAY the day waiting for the
lights to change at West Worthing crossing (so famous it
even has its own FB page!), then here’s our pick of better
things to do with your time in Tarring.
k Go old school with a pint and a (tricky) pub quiz at the
George & Dragon, or pop in to The Grizzly Bear and say
hi to Jack the bartender
k Locals swear by the trad tapas and Spanish small talk
at Rincon de Pepe
k Enjoy vintage tea sets, delicious cakes and maybe
an impromptu song at The Old Bake House
k Grab coffee and a freshly baked bun while you wait for
the train at South by West Worthing
k Grow your own and get some fresh air at the community
gardening plot at the Triangle in Tarring Park.
