The Worthing Food & Drink Festival 2025 takes place on the weekend of 13–14 September in Steyne Gardens, right in the heart of Worthing town centre. With free entry for all visitors, it’s one of the South Coast’s most anticipated food events, drawing thousands each year.

The two-day festival showcases the best of Worthing’s independent food and drink scene, featuring over 60 stalls. Attendees can expect a diverse mix of street food, artisan producers, handmade treats, craft drinks, and locally made condiments. Many traders will offer special "Festival Meal" items priced around £4, making it easy to sample a variety of flavours without breaking the bank.

Live chef demonstrations and tasting sessions are a major highlight, giving visitors the chance to watch local culinary talent in action and discover new ingredients and cooking styles. The event is designed to be inclusive and family-friendly, with a welcoming atmosphere for all ages – including dogs, who can even enjoy their own treats.

Organised by the Worthing Town Centre BID, the festival not only boosts local business but also fosters a strong sense of community. It’s an ideal weekend destination for food lovers, families, and anyone looking to enjoy high-quality food and drink in a vibrant seaside setting.
