The giraffes are starting to stick their necks out across Horsham
They are effectively part fantastic art exhibition, part competition trail where you can win some fantastic prizes donated by the giraffe owners and overall a great deal of fun for everyone.
The Rotary Club of Horsham, supported by Horsham Unlimited, Horsham District Council and West Sussex County Council, has organised Horsham’s Giant Giraffe Trail.

Hide AdThe Giraffes have been purchased by local businesses and organisations, partnered with a Charity and then painted and decorated to make each one a unique piece of art which will ultimately be auctioned with the proceeds going to the relevant Charity. .
Whilst on display in the Town Centre, the Giraffes will form a Competition Trail with some fantastic prizes including a 42” TV donated by Sony in Swan Walk, Afternoon Tea for 4 donated by Bill’s, and a Family Ticket to the Capitol’s Peter Pan panto including meeting the cast and other goodies. The competition is open to everyone and is free of charge to enter although we would encourage you to make a small donation which will be shared between our 43 involved Charities. If you really admire a particular Giraffe you will able to make a Text Donation to that Charity and even make a bid to buy the giraffe in the online Auction.
