Thousands of residents enjoyed themselves at the 23rd Littlehampton Town Show and Family Fun Day at Rosemead Park on Saturday 12 September 2026. 

Throughout the day, there was a fantastic lineup of performances on the main stage; Time Flies wowed the crowd with their performance, followed by two foot-stomping sets from The Juice and Leopold the Magnificent – an incredible Gentleman Strongman. In between these were Charlotte Reader Dance; the incredible Kai’s Magic, Mystery and Danger Show; and Ana Winson’s popular belly dancing performance in the arena.

The dog show hosted by Littlehampton Dog Training Club attracted nearly 70 entries. Winners of each category were Reggie the Schnauzer for Most Handsome Dog, Treacle the Cavalier for Prettiest Dog, Louis the Afghan Hound for Best Veteran – Over 7 and Martha the crossbreed for Best Rescue. Congratulations to all participants. 

Visitors also enjoyed the rides from Nic and Ben’s Entertainments, amazing bubble performances from Kay, art workshops courtesy of Creative Workshops and Artswork, and fun-filled laser tag games run by Arun Youth Projects.

In the Community Marquee and around Rosemead Park, there were nearly 60 local community and charity groups raising awareness of the work they do for the town. This gave visitors and residents a chance to learn more about local services and support their fundraising efforts. 

The Horticultural and Craft show, organised by the Town Show Committee, had over 700 entries across a variety of categories including cakes, vegetables, children’s arts and crafts and flowers. 

Speaking about the event, Chair of the Community Resources Committee, Councillor Freddie Tandy, said: “The Town Show and Family Fun Day is always a wonderful way to finish our programme of summer events with a bang. It was incredible to see the community come together in one location, to have a family-friendly day out whilst raising awareness and funds for a huge range of local charities and community groups. Huge thanks to all those involved in planning and delivering this great event.”

The next Town Council events are Remembrance Sunday on 8 November and the Christmas Lights Switch On on Saturday 21 November. Keep an eye on the Town Council’s social media or visit www.visitlittlehampton.co.uk for more details.
