Area guide

Large Group Accommodation in Worthing

Worthing is the Sussex seaside town that Brighton's crowds have not found: five miles of promenade, an Art Deco pier (Pier of the Year in 2019), a Victorian town centre with a growing restaurant scene, and the South Downs starting a mile inland at Cissbury Ring and Highdown. It is 1 hour 25 from London Victoria, 20 minutes from Brighton by train and 45 minutes from Gatwick. The large group houses in Worthing listed here are in the town itself, sleeping up to 12, a walk from the seafront.

Why Worthing Works for Group Stays

It gives a group Brighton's coast without Brighton's prices or parking: a house with bedrooms for 10 or 12 a few streets from the sea, a town with enough restaurants and pubs for every evening, and the big night in Brighton a short train ride away when the group wants it. The Downs are on the doorstep for a morning walk, Arundel and Chichester are 20 and 30 minutes west, and the beach at West Wittering is 45 minutes.

Things to Do in Worthing with a Large Group

Walk the promenade from Goring Gap to Splash Point and out along the pier, with Perch on the pier for brunch. Climb Cissbury Ring, the Iron Age hill fort above the town, for the view from the Isle of Wight to Beachy Head. See what is on at the Pavilion Theatre and the Connaught. Take the train to Brighton for the Lanes, the pier and the night out. Visit Arundel's castle and Chichester's cathedral and Festival Theatre. Book a private chef or a cocktail masterclass at the house for the evening everyone stays in.

Eating and Drinking

Worthing's food scene has grown up: Crabshack on the beach for seafood, the restaurants along Warwick Street and around the town centre, Perch on the pier, and pubs from the seafront to the old town. The Downs villages, Findon and Steyning, have country pubs 15 minutes away.

Ideal Occasions

Worthing suits family seaside weekends, hen weekends that want a quieter base with Brighton on tap, birthday gatherings for 10 to 12, and wedding-week houses for guests at Sussex venues between Arundel and Brighton.
