Friday Lates
Horsham’s popular Friday Lates live music and food entertainment nights return for 2026.
Organised by Horsham District Council and Food Rocks Markets, the events take place every Friday night from 6pm to 8pm throughout June, July and August at the Horsham Carfax Bandstand.
To ensure everyone can enjoy their Friday night as much as possible we have a few 'House Rules':
- The road closure will return this year through the Carfax every Friday from 5.30pm-8.30pm (until the end of August), the Carfax taxi ranks and bus stops will be temporarily relocated. Buses will depart from the main bus station. Taxis will pick up passengers from the train station, with an additional temporary taxi rank at the top of the Causeway (near Blackhorse Way). Trains will be running as normal. Please plan ahead and leave extra time for travel.
- Please do not bring a chair unless you have access requirements. This will help us to manage the size of the audience, keep the Carfax as safe as we can and, most importantly, continue to run these events in a safe and enjoyable manner for all.
- Horsham Markets stalls and nearby shops will be open late, serving up a great mix of food and drink throughout the evenings.
- Our social media platforms will always have the most up to date information on them, especially in the event of inclement weather or adverse conditions, make sure you are following us!
- Our Friday Lates are again being filmed and photographed. This content will be used by us online and alongside press releases and articles in local magazines and newspapers to highlight the success of the events and to promote future programmes. If you do not wish to be included in the photos, we advise avoiding the area immediately around the Carfax.
