Welcome to Horam Village Hall and Recreation Ground
Update on the GAP Project
Phase 1 – the loop around the perimeter of the top field was officially opened by our MP Nus Ghani on Saturday 7th October 2023. The pathway is 590m long and 2.5m wide and has an all weather surface to enable it to be used all year round. The project was funded with grants from Veolia, Horam Parish Council and Biffa Awards.
Phase 2 - BMX Pumptrack is now constructed. The project was funded from donations through Crowdfunding and Pro-Eco along with grants from Veolia and Garfield Weston. Please join us for our Grand Opening event on Saturday 18th October from 1pm. Free refreshments, professional BMX displays and free face painting.
We are so pleased to have fundraised for and delivered phases 1 and 2. Now we are keen to start fundraising for Phase 3, the remainder of the 1km path, a loop around the bottom field.
We need to raise £130K for the lower field path and resurfacing the access road to the Bowls/Football/Tennis Pavillon. WDC have a new grant scheme called Community Led Infrastructure Fund (CLIF) and hopefully they will support our project with £100k but we must find the other £30K. As we were so well supported last time we have set up another Crowdfunder page and would be so grateful if you could help us by clicking here

Enhanced CCTV Coverage at the Village Hall & Recreation Ground
We have a number of new CCTV cameras installed to improve the security of the area. These new high spec cameras cover the main village hall car park and the lower overflow car park, below the Scout HQ building. The access road leading to the bowls club is also covered in addition to the areas around the Football & Tennis pavilion, including the tennis courts. We received a grant from the Sussex Police Commissioners Community fund to help pay for all this extra equipment.
