Ten years ago, something began in Worthing.

In a cellar.

Built from the ground up.
Run by volunteers.
Powered by creativity, community and sheer determination.

A small space for big ideas.

For the alternative.
The unexpected.
Where different is normal.

A place to make something.
Discover something.
Be yourself.
Find your people.

Or just have a bloody good night out.

The Cellar Arts Club became more than a venue.

“We made our own home.”

And somewhere along the way, Worthing started changing too.

Ten years later, it’s still here.

This is the story of how a community made something extraordinary happen, and kept it happening.

The tales.
The trials.
The tribulations.

The art.
The people.
The parties.

This is the Cellar Arts Club.

Enjoy the ride.
