Karaoke Thursdays

Karaoke Thursdays run every Thursday night at Harlequin's in Worthing, from 7pm to 11pm. It's a weekly thing rather than a one-off, so if you miss one, there's another the following week. The venue is at 20 Chapel Road, BN11 1BJ, right in the town centre.

It's billed as a high-energy, modern twist on the karaoke format, and the people behind it describe the nights as fun, vibrant and definitely not boring. That's the pitch they're going with: a bit more of a party than your standard turn-taking singalong. The whole thing is promoted by WGUIDE and Worthing Wave, two names you'll see across a fair few of the town's listings.

Joining in is free, though the venue asks for a card-on-file to secure your booking. It's an open-mic setup, so you can step up and take your turn whenever you're ready. The nights run from 7pm through to 11pm, which gives you plenty of room to settle in, have a few drinks, and work up the nerve before you grab the mic. If you're not the singing type, it's just as easy to spend the evening watching others take their turn.
