Pavilion Theatre 100

About our events

On 25 June 2026, the Pavilion Theatre turns one hundred. For a century, this seafront landmark has been a stage for the town's biggest nights and smallest moments - comedians and orchestras, pantomime dames and community groups, first dates and family traditions passed down through generations. To mark the milestone, Worthing Theatres & Museum has planned a year of centenary celebrations, from a birthday weekend on the pier to a glittering Gala Night in December.

Explore the story of the Pavilion, discover what's happening throughout 2026, and find out how you can be part of its next hundred years.

Green vertical ribbons hang in the background, and soft spotlights illuminate the scene against a dark theatre setting.
