Worthing Highlights Audio Tour: Coastal Heritage

Explore Worthing at your own pace

Beneath the polished seafront of Worthing lies a landscape scarred by forgotten rebellions and hidden scandals that refuse to stay buried. Shadows stretch long over the town hall and the flickering screens of the oldest cinemas, where history is rarely as peaceful as it looks.

Unlock these secrets with a self guided audio tour designed to peel back the facade of the mundane. Explore forgotten corners and hear tales that most tourists walk right past without a second glance.

Did a desperate political uprising actually begin inside the quiet walls of the town hall? What dark presence keeps the projectionists at the Dome Cinema glancing over their shoulders at night? Why did a prominent local figure choose to vanish during the grand opening of the Connaught Theatre?
