Edition: November 2024
We have organised and collaborated on a fantastic array of free and low-cost community events and celebrations over the summer and wanted to share some of our highlights.
Our Horsham town centre free music continued to prove popular with hundreds of attendees.
Events included our Friday Lates (Almost Elvis, pictured) ,Big Band Sessions, Saturday Sussex Sounds performances and our Sussex Sounds Festival.
At Horsham Museum & Art Gallery, we continued the party on special Friday Late events with music, refreshments, and a chance to check out the galleries afterhours, as well as children’s summer crafts and trails.
For Love Parks Week we brought a roadshow of activities to celebrate our green spaces, with sports, theatre, arts, crafts, walks, yoga and more. We loved seeing so many of you joining us around the District.
We ran two very successful inclusive cycling sessions at The Bridge Leisure Centre. This was the first time we have brought our term-time sessions into the summer holidays.
Our Neighbourhood Wardens arranged lots of free family fun with the support of local businesses, Parish Councils and our Parks and Countryside, Wellbeing and Sports Development teams. This included our Autism and SEN Fun Day at Chanctonbury Leisure Centre, Storrington Funday, Billingshurst Fun Day, Southwater Family Fun Fest and our first Bat Walk at Southwater Country Park.
Our Pop Up in the Park sessions in partnership with West Sussex County Council brought more free crafts, garden games and quizzes.
To mark our 50th Anniversary we held a special event at Warnham Local Nature Reserve to celebrate the wonderful Community Heroes you nominated for making the District a great place to live.
We also held drop-in Draw our District sessions, where lots of residents came together with the help of a mural artist to illustrate their favourite things about where they live.
