BroadFest: Free family-friendly festival returns to Worthing - here's all you need to know

BroadFest, described by organisers as ‘the last party of summer’, takes place from Friday, September 18 to Sunday, September 20.

The free festival is expected to be ‘bigger and better than ever’ this year thanks to the addition of a second stage.

A spokesperson for the event said: “At BroadFest, our goal is simple: to create an inclusive, accessible, and exciting festival for all. We believe in the power of music, culture, and community to bring people together, fostering a space where the whole community can enjoy a fun-filled day—completely free of charge!

"This vibrant community event brings people together to celebrate the end of summer with an unforgettable mix of live music, dance, market stalls, delicious food & drink, and a funfair.”

The festival begins with an 80s party at 4pm on Friday, followed by a ‘packed weekend of live music’ across the rest of the weekend.

Performances begin at 11.45am on Saturday and 12pm on Sunday.

Food, drink and a licensed bar will be open throughout the event. Confirmed stalls include The Real Pizza Company, Rather Good Spud Co, Mac Daddy and Jonah’s Mead.

There will also be several market and charity stalls on offer.
