Experience the magic of the night sky in comfort at the South Downs Planetarium. Beneath the dome, thousands of stars and celestial wonders are projected overhead, creating the feeling of being under a crystal-clear sky.
Guided by a professional astronomer, you’ll be taken on a journey through constellations, planets, and far-off galaxies — all from the warmth of your seat. Whether the weather outside is cloudy or clear, the universe always shines here.
A perfect way to stargaze indoors and be inspired by the beauty of the cosmos.
