Come along for a long-awaited village get together in the Old School, Horley, now Covid restrictions have been lifted!

Drop in anytime between 2.30pm and 4.30pm and stay as long as you like.

A complementary slice of home made cake and a cup of tea / glass of prosecco / soft drink will be on offer for all Horley residents whilst you chat to friends and neighbours. Everyone is welcome, especially those of you who’ve moved to Horley during lockdown and have missed out on Horley’s sociable side – we’d love to welcome you to the village with cake and a drink!

There will also be a children’s games corner (with prizes!) and a home made cake stall if you want to take one of the delicious Ladies Guild cakes home with you.

Looking forward to getting together again!

Plant and cake sale – thank you

A huge thank you from the Ladies Guild to everyone who supported our home made cake sale earlier this month – we hope everyone enjoyed their purchases! We raised £254 from the cake sale and a fantastic £880 from the plant stall up to and including the plant and cake sale day. Proceeds will go towards further repairs to the Church and to the Michael Hardinge Trust.

Caroline would also like to thank everyone who purchased plants and gave sponsor money during the last two weeks to Duggie for his (and her) 10 mile walk for the Katherine House Hospice, which raised over £400.

Thank you!

Clothes sale in Hornton this Sunday

Hornton is having a nearly new sale of pre-loved and designer ladies clothes in the garden of the Dun Cow on Sunday (11th July) from 12 noon to 4pm.

All Covid regulations will be observed  and all proceeds will go to village causes.

Usually, the clothes stall is one of the highlights of May Day but, as there hasn’t been a May Day for the past two years, there are loads of really lovely clothes on sale at bargain prices.
