Worthing Pier, Grade II listed Victorian pier and theater in Worthing, England.
Worthing Pier is a Victorian seaside structure that stretches into the English Channel and contains a theater, arcade games, and an Art Deco pavilion at the southern end. The pier features different zones for entertainment and leisure, welcoming visitors who come for various activities throughout the day.
The pier was designed in 1862 by Sir Robert Rawlinson and funded through local share sales. Major reconstruction work followed severe storm damage in 1913, which reshaped the structure significantly.
The Pavilion Theatre at one end hosts regular shows and performances for locals and visitors. The Southern Pavilion serves as a venue for events, celebrations, and gatherings throughout the year.
You can explore most of the pier freely, with certain areas designated for fishing and clearly marked with colored zones. It is best to check opening hours in advance, as they can vary by season.
The building received a special opening celebration in the early 1920s featuring a newly composed waltz created just for this occasion. This musical moment became part of the venue's story and remains a curious detail in its history.
