History People Guided Walk - Broadwater
Chris Hare, Worthing
WORTHING HERITAGE FESTIVAL. A guided walk around the historic village of Broadwater, beginning at St. Mary's Church. Until 1890, Worthing was part of the Parish of Broadwater, which is a reminder that our modern town is something of an historical upstart compared to Broadwater, which until the nineteenth century was far more important than the obscure little hamlet by the sea that came under its jurisdiction. As well as the village, this walk will also include the history of Broadwater Green and the mysterious Midsummer Tree, which still draws revellers to dance around it every year.
General Admission: £9 Early Bird: £7.30

Relief of the Poor in 19th Century Sussex – a talk by Dr Mary Rudling
Rustington Heritage Association, Rustington
This illustrated talk looks at the support which the poor received in 19th-century Sussex - in and out of the workhouse. The 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act was described by one contemporary commentator as “a measure of extreme harshness and cruelty” and Dr Rudling will compare the support received before and after the Act, with details of individual relief recipients and officials.
Entry to the talk is free for paid-up members of Rustington Heritage Association. Visitors £5 (cash only) payable at the door. All admissions subject to availability of seats on arrival. Why not become a member? Just £15 per person per annum for free entry to all our talks in 2026.

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues
Ferring Community Cinema, Worthing
Ferring Community Cinema will be showing their next film, ‘Spinal Tap II: The End Continues’ on Friday 12th June.
Legendary faux rockers, Spinal Tap, return in this comedy 'mockusequel' about the band’s contractually enforced, and horribly ill-fated one-off reunion gig in New Orleans. It’s their first time playing together in 15 years, since a mysterious reported row between David and Nigel brought the Tap bandwagon to a halt.
The band members have established other careers, all a long way from their rock band days, and do not relish the idea of being forced into this final reunion gig.
With an impressive cast that includes Christoper Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, Rob Reiner, and Kerry Godliman – and Elton John and Paul McCartney in what must be smallish parts! – this film looks like it will be fun.
The film will be showing at Ferring Village Hall. Tickets are £6 and available at the North Ferring Co-Op, the Premier Stores in South Ferring, and on the door on the night. Ticket price includes tea, coffee or a soft drink, and biscuits. Doors open at 6.30pm for a prompt 7pm start.
Ferring Community Cinema is a not-for-profit organisation with profits donated to Ferring Village Hall and other national charities.
