The Beach Hotel Worthing
This family-owned Hotel has been associated with the EBA for many years - through two generations of the family. Many of the EBA's Ceremonial Officers and Executive Representatives have become regular guests and recommend the Hotel as a 'bowler-friendly' place to stay whilst enjoying the Bowls at Worthing.

The Beach Hotel commands the finest seafront location in Worthing and is one of the leading 3 star hotels of the town. Behind the elegant façade lies all the modern facilities you would expect from a hotel of this calibre. The hotel has been owned and managed by the Farnes family for more than 40 years and retains many original architectural features and charms of past times.
