Children’s craft activities are now available on Wednesdays and Saturdays during school holidays, with each activity relating to an even tor person from Horsham’s history.
The Museum’s barn has now reopened, where visitors can discover more about the District’s agricultural past, as well as see antique street signs from Horsham, including the recognisable Cramps Opticians’ sign, remembered by many long-term residents of Horsham.
