10 Best Activities In Horsham

Southwater Country Park and Horsham Park let each child use the space differently without anyone being told to sit down. Chesworth Farm is a similar sort of outing at a slower pace. If you need an indoor equivalent, the pottery studios take a wide age range because the ambition of the painting scales with the painter.

Huxleys Bird of Prey Centre is the specialist listing, outdoors, and it holds attention better than most animal attractions because the birds are doing something rather than sleeping. Chesworth Farm is the gentler option for younger children. Both are open-air, so dress for standing about in a field for an hour.

Horsham Spy Mission Treasure Trail exists for exactly that, giving children a reason to notice buildings they would otherwise ignore, and Horsham Museum and Art Gallery is the indoor stop on the same list. A trail and a museum together make a decent town-centre afternoon that does not depend on the weather holding.

Five of the ten have indoor space. From the top listings that means Little Gems Pottery Painting, Ceramic Shack Pottery Painting Studio and Horsham Museum and Art Gallery, with the rest of the indoor options further down the page. On a wet West Sussex weekend that is enough to fill a day, though not much more than one.
