The Ironstone Chamber Music Festival celebrates its 15th year in 2025. This year’s festival is organised by Eleanor and David for the first time, with the support of esteemed founders Chris and Tessa Howell.
Our programme for 2025 includes celebrated works and lesser-known discoveries by Mozart, Beethoven, Fanny Mendelssohn, Rossini, Dvořák, and more. The much-loved free children’s workshop returns, bringing the magic of chamber music to aspiring performers of all ages.

A big thank you to everyone who came along to the Horley fete recently, and special thanks to Megan Bottoms who took some great photos of the event – see below.











As it’s clear from the photos, everyone seemed to be having a good time! The refreshments in the Old School were very popular (delicious cakes – thank you all the bakers!) and there was an excellent selection of stalls in the Church. What’s more, we raised a fantastic £2,300 for our Church and local charities, so thank you again!

There has been a fantastic response to Horley’s Progressive Dinner which is taking place on 28th June.
It’s all set to be another great evening, especially if the weather stays like this!
If there is anyone who hasn’t put their name down please do so by this Saturday (21st) at horleyprogressive@gmail.com
Loads to do at the Horley fete tomorrow – here are just a few of the stalls in the Church. There are also refreshments in the Old School, plus home made cakes, tombola, wheel of fortune, great raffle prizes and lots of games including guess the weight of the tortoise!






Only a few days to Horley’s Summer Fete on Saturday 14th June!
Come and enjoy home made cakes and tea, Pimm’s and ice cream There are some great new stalls this year and lots of games and activities for all ages.
