Horsham

MelodyTimes Horsham

We meet at 2.30pm on the second Wednesday of each month, so we can all travel in daylight. Our venue is the friendly and comfortable Roffey Club, which is in Spooners Road, Roffey, Horsham, RH12 4DY. Doors normally open a half an hour before the concert starts. Admission is £10.00 per person and is payable in cash on the door. There is a licensed bar at the venue, where they also sell teas and coffees.

With the committee all feeling it was the time to step down, the club closed at the end of 2017. Organists Michael Wooldridge and Chris Stanbury had both enjoyed long associations with the Society and decided it would be sad to let our kind of music disappear from the area, so in June 2018 they launched Horsham MelodyTimes Concerts, changing venue from the previous HOKS venue to the Roffey Club, a venue they both liked from playing there for Sunday evening ballroom dances; they both felt it had just the right warm atmosphere, plus free parking and a licensed bar, making it ideal for concert gatherings. Since then they have been pleased to be able to bring some of the UK’s finest keyboard entertainers to the town and are now thrilled to have passed the reins over to local enthusiast Dave Braithwaite. Our small but loyal audience all love the live music and the opportunity to meet with one another in such friendly surroundings.
