Last year, Adur & Worthing Councils extended its seasonal programme into the winter months to support local start up and existing businesses to operate safely during the Covid pandemic. And having enjoyed a successful season, many of the refreshment traders will be staying on.

The existing traders will be joined by a number of returning seasonal operators, including the Shellfish Shack and the Worthing Gin truck on Worthing seafront, as well as several new pop-up traders. This includes two wood-fired saunas, which will be providing a beachside experience in converted horse boxes, at locations in Shoreham and Worthing.
