Events in Horsham From 13th April – 19th April 2026

You can find a varied mix of events in Horsham this week, with storytelling at Rookwood Community Centre on Wednesday evening, where residents share personal stories from life in West Sussex, some dating back decades. The following night includes a live music session at Horsham Artspace, where emerging folk musicians perform original work in the intimate setting of what was once a 19th-century grain store. On Thursday evening, screenings are scheduled at two locations: one at Town Hall Library with an accessible showing of recent British documentaries; another on Friday night hosted by the Women’s Institute near Church Road, screening films focused on rural life and women’s roles in community governance.

These events reflect a longstanding civic tradition, local initiatives driven not by commercial interest but through sustained investment from residents. The programme includes family-friendly arts activities during school holidays: interactive workshops held on Saturdays at Park Place Gardens or near the River Arun, where children can explore nature-based crafts using locally gathered materials.
