Friday Lates are back! Horsham’s favourite nights of live music and street food return for 2026.
Friday Lates is a seasonal community initiative in Horsham that features live musical performances and a variety of food stalls during the warmer months.
These weekly gatherings are held every Friday evening from June through August at Horsham’s Carfax Bandstand. The events are a joint venture between the Horsham District Council and Food Rocks Markets, supported by a wide variety of local businesses and hospitality venues.
Attendees can enjoy a broad range of themed entertainment, including tribute acts, cultural music nights, and genre-specific celebrations.
To ensure public safety within the town centre, many participating vendors provide refreshments in specialised disposable containers. This initiative serves as a vibrant social hub that promotes local engagement and supports the regional economy throughout the summer.
