Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Ashington (Horsham)
10 picks around Ashington (Horsham), from 9 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.
25–26 July Near Ashington (Horsham)
Not every listing gets a golden ticket
We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.
Happening Saturday 25 July to Sunday 26 July.
Picked for Ashington (Horsham), not somewhere halfway across the county.
Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.
Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

2Open Air Cinema: calamity jane
at Findon Place
Open Air Cinema is coming to the stunning grounds of Findon Place — and we're bringing a Wild West legend with us! CALAMITY JANE Join us under the stars for this beloved 1953 musical classic starring the incomparable Doris Day as the rootin' tootin' sharpshooter Calamity Jane. When Calamity promises to bring the famous actress Adelaide Adams to the dusty town of Deadwood, she sets off on an adventure filled with mistaken identities, unexpected romance, and a whole lot of heart. Along the way, she discovers that the toughest frontier to conquer might just be her own stubborn pride — and her growing feelings for Wild Bill Hickok. THE SONGS YOU'LL BE SINGING FOR WEEKS: Secret Love (the Oscar-winning classic!) The Deadwood Stage (Whip-Crack-Away!) Just Blew In From the Windy City The Black Hills of Dakota A Woman's Touch COME AS YOU ARE... OR COME AS A COWBOY! We're inviting you to be part of the show! Dust off your check shirts, dig out your denim, and pull on those cowboy boots. Best-dressed cowpokes will be celebrated, so don't be shy — go full frontier! Tickets: here
