Message from Julie:
Please would everyone be kind enough to check their sheds and garages for our missing cat. He is very inquisitive and we know he travels all around the village. We have not seen him for 2 days which is very unlike him and we are concerned he is shut in somewhere.
If anyone has any information please could they call me on 07849929661

Join us for a weekend of glorious chamber music in St Etheldreda’s Church. Acclaimed violinist Lucy Gould and cellist Kate Gould return to Horley in 2025, accompanied by special guest stars.
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.

The festival could not happen without the support of our generous sponsors. If your business would like to sponsor this year’s concerts, please contact ironstonefestival@gmail.com
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

On Sunday 27th April, after months of training, Chris Marshall successfully completed the London Marathon. Despite the warm weather, he finished in a very respectable 4 hours and 23 minutes. He was running in memory of his grandmother Edna Seed who died in July last year. She was beautifully cared for in her last 3 weeks of life in Katharine House Hospice so Chris’s aim was to raise £2000 for this worthwhile charity. To date he has raised just over £3000 so thank you to everyone who donated – it has been really appreciated by Jan and Chris .
If anyone would still like to donate, his just giving page will be open for the next few weeks.

Always such a special evening in the Horley calendar. A perfect way to connect with neighbours and fellow villagers and a big part of what makes Horley such a special community.
Numbers increase every year and we would especially love to welcome those in the village who have never taken part before. Once you’ve joined us the first time you’ll never look back!
