Spring begins in Horley with community event bringing entrepreneurs together

Last month, staff at Better’s leisure centre in Horley laid on a smashing spring fair to bring local entrepreneurs together to showcase their talents.

The event was prompted by the overwhelmingly positive response to the Christmas fair in December and turned out to be just as successful.

Thirty-six stalls were rented out to a broad range of businesses including crafts, cookery and cosmetics, with a good turn-out of customers.

Horley Men’s Shed – a local community group for men to get together, make and fix things and share a joke – was one of the stallholders. A representative comments, “Thank you to the leisure centre staff for your hard work in organising the event, as a group we all really enjoyed the atmosphere and meeting of fellow stall holders!”

Horley Leisure Centre is run by charitable social enterprise GLL under the ‘Better’ brand. Supporting local communities is an important part of the organisation’s ethos.
