Tarring is a primarily residential ward on the northern fringe of Worthing in West Sussex, originally a distinct village with medieval roots clustered around St Andrew's Church. It sits on the lower slopes approaching the South Downs, giving a mix of leafy streets and easy access to open countryside beyond the town.
The area has a village-like centre with independent shops, pubs and small businesses alongside a mix of Victorian and more modern housing, and a community feel sustained by local groups and events. Economically it is largely local‑service driven with many residents commuting into the wider Worthing/Brighton area, and socially it combines long-standing families with newer arrivals seeking something slightly quieter than the seafront.
