The zombie crawl event was held to encourage creativity and to raise awareness of the Maybridge Keystone Centre’s youth groups.
It began with a ‘monster market’ outside the Guildbourne Centre, with people professionally made up for the walk through town, stopping for photos at Teville Gate – perhaps an apt location for a zombie invasion at the time, with its boarded up shops.
After staggering along Montague Street the zombies made their way to Warwick Street, where a flashmob danced to Michael Jackson’s Thriller.
Among those dressing up for the occasion were then-mayor of Worthing Bob Smytherman and mayoress Norah Fisher, who sadly passed away in 2020.
