The open day follows a ribbon cutting ceremony for the centre at Chichester High School campus yesterday, which is run by charity Aspire Sussex.

It is hoped the 45 minute taster classes will inspire adult learners to try the day, weekend and evening courses set to start at the centre after the Easter holiday.
