The fearlessly imaginative and physically daring Lîla Dance bring their latest work to Worthing

Worthing Theatres and Museum are excited to welcome Lîla Dance to the Connaught Theatre on Saturday 17 July with The Hotel Experience. Known for their visually stunning and cinematic work Lîla Dances latest show will captivate audiences with an extraordinary night of dance.

The Hotel Experience sees a man check into a hotel the night before his wedding unaware that things may not be as they seem. This is no ordinary Hotel room, but a space that remakes and re-structures itself in tune to the psychological and emotional states of the people that occupy it. Memories that were seemingly forgotten are brought back to reality to be relived once more.

Litter enforcement patrols to begin across Adur and Worthing

Find below details that from tomorrow enforcement patrols will be carried out across Adur and Worthing as part of crackdown on littering and dog fouling.

Those caught dropping litter will receive an on-the-spot fine of £75. Those who do not clear up their dog’s mess will receive an on-the-spot fine of £100.

The self-funding trial scheme, which already operates in Chichester and Arun districts, has been introduced after feedback from local residents and community groups.

It comes just weeks after leaders of both Councils issued a general warning that anti-social behaviour around litter and parking cannot be tolerated in Adur and Worthing this summer - with specially-designed posters installed in high-profile areas, alternative off-street car parks have been promoted and examples of littering highlighted on social media.

WORTHING TELLS GOVERNMENT: HELP US BOUNCE BACK WITH CULTURE AND CREATIVITY

The Government is being asked to back Worthing’s bid to use creative and cultural industries to help kickstart efforts to rejuvenate the town centre and lead a post-pandemic economic recovery.

Worthing Borough Council has bid for £10.5m from the government’s Levelling Up Fund, aimed at schemes to regenerate communities.

In a separate move the leader of the Council, Cllr Daniel Humphreys and MP for Worthing West, Sir Peter Bottomley are to meet Robert Jenrick, the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government to press the borough’s case for funding.

The Fund money would be used to create creative and cultural spaces through the borough for designers, artists, digital companies and even spaces for gamers to enjoy. Council-backed Citizens’ Wifi will give thousands of residents access to the ultrafast broadband via a number of community spaces.

The Council also wants to investigate the restoration of key buildings in the borough to preserve their historical significance and architectural interest.
