Here's just a few things St. Paul's got up to in June...

We had the very succesful launch of the Worthing Farm Drop on Thursdays, with great produce from local farmer Sam from 'Station Farm', as well as some delicious meals from 'Love Food' and great cakes from 'Vice Puddings'.

Bartie's Boutique returned with a plethora of hand made crafts and goods. With stalls from local crafters 'Hope and Ted' and many more.

Worthing's first World of Words (W.O.W.) festival kicked off at St. Paul's. We were one of many venues in the town celebrating the work of different Authors and Poets. St. Paul's was celebrating the life and musings of Oscar Wilde. Throughout the week staff dressed in 1890's period clothing, comic book illustrator and author Jimmy Pearson came along and shared some knowledge and wisdom as well creating some unique Oscar Wilde themed Artwork, the star and director of 'The importance of being Oscar', Ross Muir and Mitch Jenkins, hosted a tea-time talk about creating the one-man show which is showing at The Connaught Theatre.

Alongside the W.O.W. festival we are hosting part of the Worthing Art Trail, with work being displayed from local artists; Rich Spicer and Deborah Petch. The culmination of the Art trail will be with the 'Live!' show on the 21st, with an eclectic range of music from a number of local bands including Yumi and the Weather and many more (tickets available from www.seetickets.com).

So June was great, but below is what St. Paul's has in-store for July...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BEN HURLEY - Ben Hurley is a 1/16th Maori stand up comedian from New Zealand. Hurley started his comedy career in Wellington as resident host of The Wellington Comedy Club. After winning the Billy T Award he moved to London and worked on the comedy circuit there between 2005 and 2008. He has supported the likes of Andy Parsons, Stewart Lee and Ed Byrne on their UK Tours. He is a popular act in his home country of New Zealand where he has performed as part of the New Zealand International Comedy Festival 10 years in a row.

JEFF INNOCENT - A popular and experienced stand up comedian, actor, writer and cultural commentator. As a stand up comedian he has reached near lengendary status among his peers and audiences alike by staying at the top of his game for over 15 years. His unique appeal lies in the contrast between his East End 'Geezer' appearance and demeanour, and his educated philosophical delivery and subject matter, insipiring The Guardian to describe him as a comedian with, 'The body of a Nightclub Bouncer and the Brains of a University Boffin'.

= THROUGHOUT JULY TILL FRIDAY 29th AUGUST =

Linda Bernhard, a 33 year old artist from Switzerland, began her career in the arts in 1996. After living in Jersey for four years, she moved to England in August 2005 to complete her education by studying a Fine Art Degree in Sculpture and a PGCE in the Creative Arts at Northbrook College in West Sussex. Currently she is employed at the same college as the Flexible Learning Assistant in the Fine Art Department. She recently completed her MA Fine Art Studies at University of Chichester. Linda is a resident artist at Worthing Art Studios.

Linda’s work is inspired by her everyday experiences, observations and surrounding environments. She’s interested in places, objects, creatures, journeys, memories and stories, rural landscapes and urban spaces. Her collages draw on innumerable sources of things she’s seen, read, or heard; becoming abstract representations of her own experiences. They express a love of colour, a sense of humour, and play with the boundary between abstract and representational.

Process is paramount. By combining photographs and found imagery, she creates new images based on personal experiences. Using a scalpel she removes elements that she considers insignificant and irrelevant; before layering the images to create environments that correspond with her everyday observations.

For more information and work visit her website www.lindabernhard.ch

They're back! Following the success of the 2 previous shows at St. Paul's, the amiable Turin Brakes are back for another round of St. Paul's lofty acoustics.

Since their last show back in February 2013 the band have released a new album titled 'We Were Here', recorded and produced at the legendary Rockfield Studios by Ali Staton, who has worked with the likes of Rufus Wainwright, Madonna and Tricky. This is the sixth studio album from Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian along with their long time collaborators Rob Allum and Eddie Myer, and is set to be their best work yet at their most assertive and consistent with a hypnotic collection of songs that nods to classic releases of the '70s and also to the triggers of existential dread that sit right at the heart of the information age.

Tickets: £20.00 available from the box office or online at www.ents24.com
