Sterns was a nightclub located on Highdown Hill in Worthing, West Sussex on the South Downs off the A259 road just north of Ferring. It was a rare example of an early UK club boasting 4 separate rooms with DJs playing Rave, Breakbeat hardcore, Jungle music, Techno, Progressive House, Hard House and Garage.

Although Sterns had played such music before, the most famous club nights were started in 1991 by a promotions company named In-ter-dance run by Mensa (R.I.P). Such was the club nights' reputation that it was credited by a number of artists on their record sleeves, was one of the most well known Rave/Hardcore clubs in Europe and was regularly visited by clubbers from all over the UK.
