Photo call November 2005

At least a hundred musicians of all types, shapes and sizes turned up on the morning of Sunday 25 November 2005 to show their support for opening the Town Hall as a Music, Folk and Community Arts venue. The supporters came from Horsham, Crawley, Worthing, East Grinstead, Reigate, Redhill, Chichester, Guildford, Dorking, Burgess Hill and Pulborough etc. The Trust would like to see the Horsham Town Hall open to all types of music and artistic activities.

Endorsement of Town Hall acoustics by Julian Lloyd Webber


Saturday 12 May 2012 Julian Lloyd Webber played at the Capitol theatre, Horsham, to a packed house. His visit to the town also gave Robert Mayfield and Martin Jeremiah, business advisor to the Trust, a chance to meet up with the Trust Patron.

The conversation naturally fell to the subject of the Horsham Town Hall and the legal actions by the Trust to secure this wonderful building for community use. It was during the conversation that Julian explained that he had been “delighted” to be Trust Patron in 2004 because he had played at the Town Hall in the 70’s and had liked the acoustics!
