I cannot praise Huxlelys enough! Lived in Horsham over 25 years and had never been?! We got there in time for the first meet an owl session, had a wander round to see the birds, went for lunch in the garden centre, then back for the second meet an owl and the flying display. The team are wonderful, welcoming and very humorous! We so lucky to be able to take part in the display and fly some of the birds. For a relatively inexpensive day out compared to many days out for 7 of us it was an experience we won’t forget!

I regularly cycle along various parts of this fantastic old railway line and yesterday I travelled the entire length which was amazing. Mostly flat with a steep and confusing stretch between Rudgwick and Cranleigh and from this point forth going North it became apparent that the signage, which had been excellent throughout the Sussex stretch, was now very poor and where existent was largely unmaintained. This made it a little more difficult to ensure I was on the right track and the directions around Cranleigh were almost non existent. This aside the route takes one through some amazing English countryside on what is an easy and pleasant bridle-path. Normally there's loads of places to stop for snacks etc but due to lock-down these were largely all closed down. Only exception is the Old Railway pub (formerly the Cat & Canary) in Henfield that has set up an outdoor takeaway facility in their large beer garden which is open 7 days a week. Excellent service in a lovely spot.

Went to see Peter Pan with my husband and two daughters (10 & 12). Have to say we all had a lovely time. Great performances and typical pantomime cheesy humour... Brilliant pantomime dame stole the show but all were good.

A wonderful museum with well executed special displays which are changed regularly. The permanent exhibitions are fascinating and extensive. There is a lovely garden and the museum is located in a beautiful period house in The Causeway. We have spent many enjoyable hours here on our regular visits from Leatherhead and have found the staff to be unerring helpful, as well as knowledgeable.

Our aim is to ensure the conservation, protection, and improvement of Warnham Local Nature Reserve for the benefit of both the public and the wildlife. Working in close partnership with Horsham District Council who own and manage the Reserve, we: * Promote the Reserve through displays and road shows * Meet & greet visitors to the Reserve and collect permit charges * Manage the Heron’s Rest café, selling drinks and light refreshments * Raise funds for specific projects * Organize and run programmes of events at the Reserve both for the public and for our members * Host regular evening visits by groups from local youth organisations * Assist with wildlife surveys All income raised is used for the benefit of the Reserve.
Warnham Local Nature Reserve is a great place for a walk and to teach the little one's a bit more about the local nature. It is informative and interesting. It is mostly accessible and they have set up a one way system so that social distancing can be maintained. There are picnic areas to sit and enjoy a spot of lunch or a bite to eat. They are building a new discovery centre and I can't wait to go and explore this when it is complete.

Horsham Park is a haven of green space with a lake, trees, wildlife and colourful flowerbeds. Within the Park is Park House Garden, a tranquil landscaped sensory garden designed with the disabled and visually impaired in mind. For those wishing to be more active, there are tennis courts, two outdoor gym locations, a permanent Orienteering Course, a very popular bowls green and a skate park. In 2011 a permanent table tennis table was added to the Park as well as a delightful Human Nature Garden, which offers an attractive educational garden illustrating the link between plants and people in their everyday lives. The Garden was created by Horsham in Bloom and funded by the Big Lottery. A wide range of refreshments are provided at The Conservatory Café; an ideal spot to stop for a break and to listen to concerts on the nearby podium.
Went out on a walk to the park with my dog and children and it felt very therapeutic walking through the park with a nice warm breeze towards you and is very well looked after.

Within a stone’s throw of the town centre you can find Horsham’s secret paradise. You can walk or ride through 90 acres of beautiful countryside any day of the year. Chesworth Farm dates back to before 1086 and has been listed as one of the Horsham District Year of Culture 2019 Hidden Gems, as many people aren’t aware it is here to explore ! The River Arun forms a picturesque meadow in addition to the gorgeous grasslands (which sometimes host grazing livestock) and the ancient hedgerows that act as a haven for wildlife. It boasts the opportunity to see animals , such as skylarks in the daytime and barn owls flying past at dusk. You can walk through clouds of butterflies, encounter cows and sometimes see rare sheep and their llama companions in a beautiful countryside setting. The farm is suitable for anyone: a place to walk the dog, ride a horse, jog for miles or have a family cycle ride, well away from any main roads .
This was a working farm and still is in some respects. The large, named fields are mainly grass and wild flowers with clear paths through them. Look for Jenny Barelegs, for instance. Great for dog-walkers and for tiring out exuberant young children - and grandparents, as we discovered. Take a picnic (there is no café) but please take ALL your rubbish home to dispose of properly. Look at the river Arun. Half way across the board walk you will be able to sit and see the waterfall. A bit dry this month but usually a delight. Also, carefully peek at the lovely garden of the old manor house, next door. At one time, it was an early home of Catherine Howard. She married King Henry 8th but was executed aged about 19 as he found she was more attracted to men of her own age. He was 49.
