Earlier in 2014, Worthing Town Centre Initiative decided to re-introduce the role of town crier to Worthing with the aim of boosting tourism, events and activities.
Worthing last had a town crier nearly twenty five years ago when Philip Holliday hung up his bell in the mid 1990’s after being appointed to civic office in 1980.
The town is now delighted to welcome new town crier - Bob Smytherman (#cooltowncrier) who brings colour and style to every public announcement, function, event and occasion.
During 2013 and 2014, Bob Smytherman was Mayor of the Borough of Worthing and his friendly, approachable manner and responsiveness to Social Media brought him popularity to people of all ages.
Now known as #cooltowncrier, Bob brings fun and entertainment to the role and most importantly he makes a real difference to Worthing wherever he goes.
Bob Smytherman Town Crier can add something special to a wide range of events and occasions:
Attending in full regalia, Bob will make your event a memorable one.
Please note: Bob offers his time free of charge to registered charities in the Borough of Worthing; however he likes to raise funds for his chosen charity, Guildcare through his work. Bob kindly requests a small donation to the charity for his time and as a guideline a £20 donation for a booking of less than 2 hours and£40 for more than 2 hours would be much appreciated.
