Worthing WOW Festival 2016

This May sees the start of the 2016 Worthing WOW Festival now in its third year, the festival focuses on local Worthing and Sussex based writers, performers, playwrights and film-makers, presenting a diverse range of events at various venues around the town for a whole two weeks.
This year’s festival celebrates 120 years of film in Sussex, supported by Heritage Lottery Fund, with screenings, events, workshops, exhibitions and the return of the South Shorts Film Festival Competition as part of those celebrations.
The festival originally set out in 2014 as a platform to celebrate books, films, theatre and the joy of words. This strand of the festival has gone from strength to strength with its Jane Austen mini festival in 2015 and now, with Arts Council England and Chichester University supporting the literary programme, WOW are able to offer a rich and diverse programme of literary events, performances, competitions and workshops.
With venues reaching from the town centre to the sea, to highdown gardens to shoreham fort – packed full with film events, spoken word performances, writing and theatre workshops, talks from authors, family and children’s events, competitions and much more – there really is a massive pick and mix to dip and delve into
