Welcome to the Save Horsham Old Town Hall campaign website

Save the historic Horsham Old Town Hall from being gutted and turned into a restaurant.

I have created the 'Save Horsham Old Town Hall' campaign as I believe we should be preserving historic buildings like this one, using them for community use, and not turning them into unwanted restaurants - especially when there are plenty of other sites in Horsham where new restaurants could be sited.

Campaign positions :

  1. Horsham needs community venues

  2. Horsham does not need more restaurants

  3. Horsham Old Town Hall is an historic grade 2 listed building which should be preserved

  4. Horsham Old Town Hall is a great venue for enjoying music (it has great acoustics)

News Flash!

Once again Horsham District Council have ignored the views of the residents of Horsham and have put the Town Hall up for sale despite protests from a number of councillors who voted against the sale. 

Its time we all made our voices heard and let HDC know that this sale should not go ahead.

We are urging everyone to write to one of the contacts below or your local paper (or radio/tv station!) to express your views on the proposed sale.

Thanks to everyone for their continued support - together as a community we can make a difference and make our voice heard.
