Sam and the team are taking on a new venture.
We’re delighted that from Thursday 12th February The Bedford, Horsham will be open again!
We’re excited to be able to build on the fantastic work of Richard, Jodie and the team at North & South Leisure have put in since last summer to help the Bedford reach its potential as venue that celebrates live music and togetherness with community at its heart.
We’re also really happy to see some of the current team re-opening the Malt Shovel as a Freehouse. We know there will be some friendly competition but we really hope that you will continue to support the diverse range of venues that Horsham offers and keep hospitality thriving.
As part of the partnership with Stonegate we are still tied on certain products but have worked hard to ensure we can stock some local beers from breweries we love such as Firebird, Harveys and Gun Brewery. We’ll also be stocking locally sourced wines and spirits alongside international favourites.
Matt and some of the team will be staying with us, joined by Sam and some familiar faces from the Sussex Event Bars team who you may already know from Friday Night Lates and other events in Horsham and beyond.
The pub will be briefly close to allow for a changeover, reopening on Thursday 12th Feb. We’re working hard behind the scenes to bring you a full programme of live music, events and food and look forward to welcoming you.
