Horsham town had a population of 48,041 at the 2011 Census, with the wider district recorded at 146,800 people in the 2021 Census — one of the fastest-growing parts of West Sussex.
The Carfax, chartered in 1233
The centre of Horsham is known as the Carfax — likely from the Norman "quatre voies," or four ways, where the town's original routes met. In 1233, King Henry III granted Horsham a royal charter for a market and fair, formally establishing it as a market town, and the Carfax has served as its central trading point ever since — the market place is dominated by the old Town Hall, built in 1812 by the Duke of Norfolk on the site of an earlier medieval market hall.
The Town Hall itself stopped serving as a market building long ago — it was converted into a restaurant in 2013 — but the Carfax around it still hosts markets and stalls, with a Victorian bandstand and war memorial marking out the square.
What nearly 800 years of market history doesn't cover
A market square, however old its charter, is built for stalls selling by the bag — not a 3kg bulk bag, a vegan-specific range, or a halal-friendly selection put together for a business order.
Why Horsham shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a market-stall quantity, ordering online and having it delivered is the more consistent option, whatever day the Carfax is trading.
