THE  FESTIVAL STAGE


Since 2014, the Human Nature Garden in Horsham Park has hosted a festival style stage for the Horsham Battle of the Bands finals. The garden was opened in 2011 and in 2012 won an award in the ‘South & South East in Bloom’ competition. Read more here.

As well as being a beautiful place to relax on a summers day, it also lends itself to the installation of an amazing, festival style inflatable dome stage for bands to play on while their fans take advantage of licensed bars, local food vendors and a free circus workshop for kids.

Bring a blanket and come and hear some great live music!

THE BANDSTAND
Back in the day, the Carfax bandstand was the main venue for Horsham Battle of the Bands. In 2019, we were planning to  bring the competition home to the bandstand for the Acoustic Originals competition on 10th August - but rain stopped play :( So we held it at The REC Rooms instead :) For a location map see this page.
