Incredible journeys into space
The South Downs Planetarium in Chichester is an exciting place for people of all ages to visit. Sit back and relax. Get lost in their stunning fulldome images and breath-taking videos whilst their highly experienced and enthusiastic lecturers take you on a mind-blowing journey through space.
In conjunction with the new fulldome video system which produces stunning immersive images and video, their magnificent star projector projects nearly 4,500 stars and other celestial objects onto the dome above your head.
The Planetarium puts on new public shows every month, including during the school holidays before and after Christmas.
There is free car parking adjacent to the Planetarium building, easy access for the disabled, and it is only a short walk from rail and bus stations. The Planetarium operates throughout the year but is not open every day and they regret that casual callers cannot be accommodated.
The Planetarium is located to the south of the City of Chichester, by the campus of the High School. With its 100-seater auditorium, colourful displays and well-stocked sales kiosk, the Planetarium has something for would-be astronauts and stargazers aged 6 years and above.
For details of all upcoming shows and their opening hours, plus a map showing you how to find them, visit the Planetarium’s website at www.southdowns.org.uk. All tickets must be booked in advance and paid for online with a credit or debit card.
