Here’s a little more about Horsham

In 1233 a Royal Charter was granted to Horsham by Henry III giving his consent to hold Fairs (markets) and a lively market town was born! Horsham and district (an area of more than two hundred square miles of the Sussex Weald), lying in the heart of Sussex, is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt areas in the South East. The gentle rolling hills of the South Downs and the High Weald Area are of outstanding natural beauty. This attractive town, which in summer is bedecked with beautiful flowers, is an enjoyable place for shoppers, browsers and tourists alike. It has won many national and prestigious awards for the use of natural materials and the excellent environment that has been created for shoppers and pedestrians. It is a winner of the 'South East in Bloom' competition. The carfax is the hub of the town, in past times fairs and markets authorised by Royal Charter and other open-air events were held here. Today the Carfax remains at the heart of Horsham, with the Victorian bandstand a distinctive feature.

Horsham with it’s happy mix of the old and the modern offers the visitor a wealth of heritage.

One of the oldest items, bones of the Polancanthus dinosaur, found nearby in 1986, is believed to be one of only four examples found in the world.
