Worthing Bank Holiday Events and Places to Visit
Bank Holiday is fast approaching once again and will reach us on the weekend of the 27th August 2011. Sadly this is the last one of the year so make sure you enjoy that last bit of freedom as well as making the most of the summer weather!
We have been busy searching and compiling a list of some great local places to visit as well as events that will be going on around town. If you are organising, or know of any events not included please drop us an email on worthing@thebestof.co.uk or call us 01903 890226 with more details and we will include it for you.
Places to visit:
Marlipins Museum – Based in Shoreham-by-Sea this museum highlights the importance of martime past and explores local history. Marlipins displays the history of Shoreham from prehistory to medieval times and looks into agriculture, and domestic life. It really is a beautiful museum with a friendly and welcoming environment, plus gives you a greater understanding of local history.
