Horsham (West Sussex) Halal Travel Guide

Horsham is, at heart, a traditional English market town. West Sussex is a relatively rural county in southern England, and Horsham provided a focus for people to gather and trade in times gone by.

Over recent years, Horsham has grown significantly, being a commutable distance from London and Gatwick Airport, while still having the benefits of the nationside.

Horsham is also the site for Novartis-UK Affiliate of the Swiss based company Novartis AG. The R&D here focuses on Metabolic disorders, GI tract diseases and such.

In its recent history Horsham has been one of the main headquarters for the international firm Royal & SunAlliance which still opens and operates in some of the towns largest buildings. The recent Yes! Car Credit which went bankrupt was also based in Horsham.

Traditionally not known for its open mindedness (The film 'Monty Python's Life of Brian' was banned here upon its release, and Horsham was one of the last places in England someone faced the death penalty for homosexuality). Despite this the town does show some signs of moving forward despite being a little 'backward' compared to London or Brighton, perhaps due to the older demographic. Horsham is also one of the last places on Earth to still display its stocks in the town centre.
