Autumn evenings do not have to mean staying at home. Bognor Regis has plenty going on as we move towards winter, with comedy, live entertainment, themed weekends and festive events all providing a good excuse to head out.
Whether you fancy a nostalgic trip back to the 1980s, an evening of stand-up comedy or some late-afternoon Christmas shopping, here are a few dates worth putting in the diary.
Ultimate 80s Thriller Weekender at Butlin’s
Big hair, big tunes and plenty of nostalgia are heading to Butlin’s Bognor Regis for the Ultimate 80s Thriller Weekender.
Taking place over Halloween weekend, the adults-focused break celebrates the music and atmosphere of the decade, with themed entertainment running from Friday through to Monday.
For anyone who loves 80s music and fancies something a little different for Halloween, it promises to be one of the livelier weekends in the local calendar.

More Than Just a Seaside Town
Bognor Regis may be best known for its coastline and summer attractions, but there is plenty happening once the temperatures begin to drop too.
From established venues and major entertainment at Butlin’s to local pubs, community events and seasonal markets, autumn and winter bring a different side of the town to life.
At Whitlocks Estate Agents, being local means knowing far more than the property market alone. We know the streets, the communities, the places people enjoy visiting and the little things that make different areas feel like home.
If you're considering a move in or around Bognor Regis, our team is always happy to share our local knowledge and help you find the right area for your next chapter.
Event dates, ticket prices and line-ups may change. Please check directly with organisers before attending.
