Angmering South Downs Supports Worthing Carnival


Crowds Greet

Rotary Centenary Carnival

’s Rotary Carnival, over the Bank Holiday Weekend celebrated its 100th Birthday and proved to be one of the most successful ever.    It was also the revival of carnival since 2019 after it was cancelled due to Covid.

It was a bumper summer carnival, organised by the local Rotary Clubs, Worthing, Angmering and and Highdown working in unison to provide a stunning range of events to appeal to all over the three days of the Bank Holiday.    A variety of local groups were involved, including dancers, live music, magicians, children’s entertainment and a mouth watering choice of food and refreshment stands.

Paul Campbell, organising chair said ‘We have succeeded, as always, in bringing colour, fun and laughter to local people as well as collecting for good causes.

The Carnival was launched on the Saturday by town crier, Bob Smytherman, with breathtaking displays of dance and acrobatics together a dog show organised by Clymping Dog Sanctuary.   Many took advantage to relax on the grass and enjoy the refreshment stalls in the warm sunshine or to browse around the various community group stalls.

On the carnival Sunday there was a brilliant display of classic Ford cars, impressing with the brightness of their colours and shiny chrome, boasting of the love and care shown in their restoration and maintenance by the owners.    Ivy Arch studios added to the carnival atmosphere with the delivery of an end to end music bonanza presented by local groups.

The high spot of the weekend was the carnival procession on the Monday.    The crowds lined Marine Parade to see all the colourful floats, bands and dancing groups parading by and cheer them on, and at the same time giving generously to the Rotarians collecting for local charities.    Leading the procession was Worthing Mayor Henna Chowdhury and Youth Mayor, Henny Sonnemann-Petty.

There were also the additional attractions of the funfair and a market stretching along the sea front.

Event Co-ordinator and President of Angmering South Downs Rotary Club, Jeremy Flaskett, said ‘This has been one of the most successful and joyful Carnivals on record.   We have to thank all the volunteers from the three Rotary Clubs and other supporting voluntary groups that have made this possible.  Most of all we have to thank the people of , and the many visitors to the town, for their enthusiastic support and their generosity in contributing to our charity appeal.’
