South Downs Planetarium

A guided tour of the solar system
Outstanding astronomical facility based within the grounds of Chichester High School.

The Planetarium has a 100 seater Star Theatre with a planetarium projector and 10 metre Dome which is used as the basis for a variety of shows which average 2 to 3 per week.

Shows last about an hour and its best to book tickets in advance. It's very good, even if you don't know much about astronomy.

Worthing Astronomers

Worthing Astronomers is free to join. The club has an emphasis on hands on astronomy. This means more time stargazing and less time listening to lectures. Worthing Astronomers members range from inexperienced beginners to experienced observers and the club organises regular club nights and public observing sessions.
