The Guildbourne Centre offers indoor shopping in central Worthing, with B&M and Toy Barnhaus alongside independent retailers and a range of services. Its mix includes a butcher, chocolate and gift businesses, clothing and leisure activities.
The adjoining High Street multi-storey car park is useful if you want to combine a visit with Worthing’s surrounding shopping streets. The council identifies direct links between the car park and the centre.

What can you find inside?
Guildbourne Meats, Charlene’s Chocolate Factory, Sewsilver and Formula Fragrances are among the specialist names in the official directory. The list also includes fitness, beauty, dental and other services, so it should not be read simply as a count of shops.

Adding an activity to your shopping trip
Mindworks Escape Rooms is listed within the centre, offering an activity to plan around rather than a shop to browse. Check its own availability and requirements before visiting. Similarly, hair, beauty, fitness and other appointment-based businesses may operate differently from ordinary retail units.
For a wider shopping trip, the council places Warwick Street, Chapel Road and South Street a short walk from the adjoining High Street car park. Montague Street is approximately five minutes away at its estimate.
How to get to the Guildbourne Centre
Address: 42 Guildbourne Centre, Worthing, West Sussex, BN11 1LZ
By car, follow signs for the High Street multi-storey. It joins the centre, but its parking terms are separate from the opening hours of the shops. The council’s Worthing travel page links to current car-park details and a location map.
Worthing station is the council’s recommended station for the town centre. It estimates around 15 minutes on foot to the heart of town; use the map to plan the final route to Guildbourne. Stagecoach, Compass Travel and Metrobus are among the operators linked from the council’s bus information.
The council also identifies a cycle hub at High Street car park and cycle parking around the town centre. Check any membership or access arrangements for secure hubs before relying on them.
Opening hours and access needs
The centre advertises Monday-to-Saturday hours of 8am–6pm, with shorter Sunday and bank-holiday Monday hours. Individual businesses can open later or close earlier. Its published annual closures are Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day and Easter Sunday.
For specific access needs, contact centre management on 01903 207327. The directory and general opening information do not establish the accessibility of every business, entrance or activity.
Check the business as well as the building
An open shopping centre does not guarantee that every shop, clinic, gym or activity is operating. Book appointments and activities directly, and check the entrance you should use.
Planning the rest of your visit

Questions before you visit
Is the Guildbourne Centre an indoor shopping centre?
Yes. The centre describes itself as an indoor shopping destination, with an official directory covering retail, services and activities.
Is the car park part of the same opening timetable?
No. High Street car park has its own operating conditions. Check the council’s information separately, particularly if leaving after the shops close.
