Live At The Drill is hosted at Horsham’s historic Drill Hall in Denne Road.

Its mission is straightforward: to reintroduce world-class live performance to the centre of the Horsham community.

Launched by a collective of local artists and event organisers, its philosophy centres on the essentials: exceptional talent, a friendly atmosphere, regional craft beers, and top-tier catering. Skipping the gimmicks to focus on expertly curated evenings in a venue designed for acoustic excellence.

Though Horsham has a lively creative scene, it has lacked a dedicated large-capacity venue for consistent cultural experiences. Live At The Drill fills this gap with a diverse schedule featuring music, soul, funk, jazz, classical ensembles, plus spoken word poetry and engaging guest speakers.

All events will feature rotating street food vendors and independent local breweries.

Whether it’s a unique, one-off showcase or a recurring community favourite, the priority remains unchanged. Live At The Drill  will foster a sense of discovery and genuine connection through high-quality programming.

The launch event features W3 - the residency band from Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club.
