Horsham Town Centre

We held a street party like no other, with performances across the town, our majestic markets, activities at the Museum & Art Gallery and a special Coronation Screening at The Capitol.

District-wide celebrations

Parish and Neighbourhood Councils were offered up to £200 towards the cost of their Coronation celebrations. There were so many great ways to celebrate with live music, children’s activities, picnics, fetes, screenings, vintage fairs, car rallies, family fun days and more.

Street parties

Many of you made the most of our fee waiver for road closures and got together with your neighbours hosting wonderful street parties.

The Big Help Out

Rounding off events was the launch of the Big Help Out; a national initiative to help boost volunteering. The Council are offering grants of up to £250 to local voluntary, community, or not-for-profit organisations for Big Help Out events locally.
