On a rest day pilgrims are left largely to their own devices. Listen out for announcements on communal evening activities that might be arranged. There are many things to do and most are within a short distance from the centre.Thursday is market day, and the museum,leisure centre,tourist information office,cinema, theatre,park,circular riverside walk (12.5 miles!), and Warnham nature reserve with its café and visitor centre are all local. A little further out at West Grinstead is the diocesan shrine and Knepp Castle a 5000 acre estate where the animals are left to their own devices. The leisure centre in Horsham Park is about half a mile from our hall. It features swimming facilities including a heated outdoor pool, moving water channels, bubble beds, a waterfall, geysers and jets, and a corkscrew flume. More prosaically, the Carousel Laundrette is also around half a mile away in a back street to the west of Horsham Park.
