Things to do in Worthing don’t get much better than a visit to one of England’s oldest working cinemas. Hosted in a Grade II-listed Edwardian building, The Dome is formed of three screens and a café overlooking the sea at its front. 

Built by Carl Adolf Seebold, opened in 1911 and formerly known as Kursaal, it changed its German name following a resident's petition after the First World War. The building has undergone renovation several times, but still retains a distinct historic charm and is a brilliant place to catch something on the big screen with the loved ones.
