Volunteer for regular duties

There are a number of practical ways that you can be involved including:

• Supporting the learning during our School and Student visits.
• Welcoming the public to our Public Shows.
• Administration & Practical duties.
• Technical and Engineering support.

What skills do I need?

Our Volunteers come from all different backgrounds and it is not necessary for new Volunteers to have knowledge in Astronomy.

The Planetarium is a very busy and exciting environment with an opportunity to learn and share knowledge with our visitors. 

When do I need to be available?

Details

Our volunteers usually work around 5 hours on a regular basis once a week, but this can be flexible. The Planetarium is usually open during the day Monday to Friday during term-time for School, University and pre-booked group visits. We are also open to the general public on most Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons. During the School holidays we are open to the public in the afternoon or evening on certain days, but not every day. Occasionally we hold Observing Evenings on the South Downs, not more than six times per year.
