Worthing Theatres and Museum

Worthing Assembly Hall is a versatile live events and venue-hire space in West Sussex, managed by Worthing Theatres and Museum. Known for its strong acoustics and generous auditorium, the venue is well suited to concerts, comedy shows, dance events, talks, presentations, exhibitions, fairs and larger private gatherings.

The hall has a distinctive cultural history and continues to welcome a broad programme of music, entertainment and community events. Its flexible layout can support different event formats, from seated performances and public shows to standing receptions, celebrations and dance-led occasions. A fully sprung dance floor adds particular appeal for tea dances, ballroom events and other activities where movement and comfort are important.

For organisers, the venue offers practical event support alongside its performance facilities. On-site bars, guest facilities, sound and lighting provision, projection capability and technical support help create a smoother production process. The main auditorium is accessible at ground-floor level, with accessible toilets and wheelchair-friendly guest areas available. Assistance dogs are also welcomed.

Next to the main hall, the Richmond Room provides a more intimate setting for training sessions, meetings, smaller fairs, annual general meetings, presentations and supporting event activities. It includes private bar facilities, a kitchen surface area, built-in projection and a screen, with the option of a small stage for presentations or performances. The room is wheelchair accessible and can be hired when the main hall is vacant.

Whether you are planning a live performance, corporate gathering, community occasion, private celebration or specialist event, Worthing Assembly Hall combines a characterful setting with the technical infrastructure and operational support needed for a successful occasion.
