Horsham is a market town situated on the River Arun in the Horsham District of West Sussex, England with a population of roughly 50,000. Horsham has grown up around the Carfax, which is a meeting area place of five roads. Part of this has been closed to traffic in recent years. Two shopping centres, Piries Place and Swan Walk, are located close by to the Carfax. There are also two main shopping streets; East Street and the pedestrianised West Street. A new shopping area and public square, the Forum, has recently been completed to the south of West Street, off Blackhorse Way.

To the south of the Carfax is the Causeway. This tranquil, little altered street is lined with ancient houses, and leads to the Norman church of St. Mary. (Anglican) Beyond the church is the River Arun, Prewetts Mill and the town cricket field. To the north of the Carfax is a large park, the remnant of what was formerly the Hurst Park Estate. The park has numerous football pitches, a wildlife pond and tennis courts. Various leisure facilities, including a modern swimming complex, have been built on land around the park.

To the East along the Brighton Road is Iron Bridge named after the Railway Bridge that carries the railway to London and the South Coast.
