“We know some people whose children have needed help and it is nice to know that Chestnut Tree House is there to support them.
“It really is a wonderful place for the whole family. I also love going into the Billingshurst shop, chatting with the team and buying some of their plants.”

A big thank you to local student, Asher Hurwood, from The Weald Community School in Billingshurst, who played the piano outside the shop.
The piano – decorated by children from Billingshurst Primary School – is part of the Street Pianos project, celebrating the Horsham District Year of Culture 2019.
Street Pianos have popped up in six locations in the Horsham District this summer and are free to play for all – from novice to seasoned musicians.
