A Festival for Everyone
One of the key aims of the Horley Community Arts Festival is inclusivity.

Schools, community groups and local organisations often get involved, helping to make the festival a true town-wide effort.

The festival not only entertains but also supports the local creative economy by giving artists and performers exposure within their own community. It helps strengthen connections between residents, businesses and community groups.
Getting Involved
Residents can take part in a number of ways:
- Exhibiting artwork
- Performing music, dance or drama
- Volunteering during the event
- Sponsoring or supporting activities
- Simply attending and showing support
As the festival continues to grow, it plays an increasingly important role in celebrating Horley’s creative spirit and community pride.
