What goes on inside Worthing’s creative hub?
How does the hub support creative people and businesses to grow?
We invite you to step inside to hear from the people who work here – from animators to illustrators, printmakers to musicians.
You’ll hear about innovation within the digital team at Adur & Worthing Councils and about the plans to extend Colonnade House as a creative digital hub and we want to hear your thoughts about how our new facilities could work for you in the future.
