Garden Safari 2025
Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th June, 11am - 5pm
This year, there are 30 gardens to visit, many new gardens and gardens that are open again after several years . Schedules with all the details, cost £10, which includes both days. Free to anyone 16 years and under and carers.
Schedules can be bought in advance from Apples and Pears and Seymours in Horsell High Street and from open gardens on the day.
This is a great way to see gardens large and small, manicured or wild. The allotments will be open and there will be a "Community garden trail" celebrating the work done locally by Horsell volunteers. Wonderful cakes and tea will be available in several gardens. Proceeds from the schedules and sale of teas are all donated to a charity. This year, we will donate to Woking and Sam Beare Hospices, Horsell Care and Horsell Village Hall.
Horsell Garden Safari offers a chance to chat to gardeners and to meet up with friends. A really relaxing way to spend a summer's weekend.
This event began with celebration of Queen Elizabeth‘s 90th birthday in 2016 with a celebration on the green in front of The Cricketers pub and has been continued every year since, on the first Sunday in July. People are invited to bring a picnic and listen to live music while chatting to friends and neighbours. Traditional games are organised for the children. There is no charge for this event and no fund raising - just a relaxing afternoon in the summer sunshine.
Picnic on the Green 2025
Sunday 6th July, 12 - 4pm
Bring your own Picnic
Listen to local bands and dress up in Olympic sports gear for the Parade of Olympians at 3:15pm
Music Program
Garage Sale Trail 2025
Date TBA
Sell your “Preloved but no longer needed” items from your own front drive.
Maybe you have time to have a clear out over the Summer. Have a “Too much Stuff and not nearly enough Space” sale.
You would need to ensure you do not obstruct pathways and upset the neighbours. Understandably. Perhaps you could team up with others in the village who do not have enough space or are a bit out of the main village area. Feel free to combine with raising money (perhaps) for charity by selling cakes and cookies etc.
How do we help? We will place a map advertising your location (on the Horsell Village Wire) and if you want, what you are mainly flogging. For example, if you are purging all things children (toys and books, that is) then we could highlight this in the publicity to attract the right visitors. With children.
Christmas Market 2025
Saturday 6th December, 1pm - 5pm
Each year since 2012, the Second Thursday Club has organised a Christmas Market in Horsell Village on the first Saturday in December and this has now become a premier event in the annual calendar.
The aim of the Christmas Market is to promote the wonderful skills of local artisans and give them an outlet to sell their wares, to bring in extra business to the brilliant High Street shops and to brighten dull December days and bring the local community together.
A great atmosphere is created with illuminated Christmas trees, participation of local shops and pubs, children's activities, music from local bands and carol singing.
We recognise that the success of this event is down to a good mix of really skillful and hard working stallholders together with supportive shops and businesses. We also have a good team of volunteers that makes sure everything is well organised and everyone is well looked after: communication, organisation and caring!
The Christmas Market is totally self-funding with generous sponsorship from local shops and businesses. Stall holders are charged fair and competitive rates with a number of tables for charities made available at no charge. If you would like to enquire about the next market please contact xmas@horsellresidents.com. We start to take bookings in August.
