Living in Worthing

Nestled between the vibrant city of Brighton and the glorious countryside of the South Downs, Worthing is the largest coastal town in West Sussex.

Not only are you studying in a beautiful seaside town, you’re close to Brighton, London and so many places that are just full of life!”

Worthing Light Festival 2019 This creative seaside community is home to music venues, museums, galleries and pop-up venues, including the East Beach artist studios, where local creatives exhibit their work.

Spend your weekend at a local bar for a comedy night, or get involved in the flourishing live music scene. Cycle through the stunning South Downs National Park, or try out paddleboarding and windsurfing in one of West Sussex’s most popular watersport locations. With creative events hosted throughout the year, you can enjoy the annual light festival installation, take part in street theatre or savour the delights of the food and drink festival.

Living in Brighton

Brighton is a truly unique and vibrant city with a diverse cultural history. Known for embracing every form of creative expression, the city is a hub for innovative culture, theatre and art.

Each year Brighton plays host to a myriad of events, including the largest open-access arts festival in England; Brighton Fringe. The city is home to a plethora of boutiques, venues and galleries, with a seemingly endless supply of restaurants, pubs and clubs to enjoy. Brighton is well-known for its established music scene, independent record stores and the annual Great Escape Festival for emerging artists. When you need to reset from the excitement of the city, the natural beauty of the Sussex countryside is only a stone’s throw away.
