About The City Brief Horsham
Your Personal Newsletter For All Local Events in Horsham
In Horsham, The City Brief helps neighbours stay informed about what’s happening across the town each week. From gatherings in the Town Centre to community events near Denne Road and Piries Place, we track local happenings with clarity and care. Carfax Market runs every Thursday to Saturday on the high street, drawing residents for fresh produce, baked goods, and handmade crafts from regional makers. This market is part of a broader rhythm shaped by recurring events such as Piazza Italia, an annual celebration held at The Causeway House (Number 15) that highlights Italian food traditions, music, and artisan stalls.
Seasonal programming includes the Horsham Festival, an extended series of performances across multiple venues including Steyning Museum and Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens. These locations host family-friendly exhibitions throughout spring and summer months, with Huxley’s Birds of Prey Centre offering guided walks through St Leonard’s Forest during weekends in May and June.
Events aren’t limited to formal spaces; the South Downs Way provides access to Warnham Nature Reserve for walking routes used by local school groups. The Causeway itself remains a quiet anchor near North Horsham, where evening meetups gather at benches along its footpath after 5pm on weekdays.
Through consistent weekly updates and thoughtful reporting, we help keep residents connected, whether attending the Horsham Cricket Club Match in July or visiting Fishbourne Roman Palace during Heritage Open Days. Our aim is to support civic engagement by making it easy for people across all parts of town, from Causeway to Piries Place, to discover upcoming activities without effort.
