Charity Trustees
The Horton is seeking to appoint two or more trustees who share our values and aspirations, to serve on the board of its charity – Horton Chapel Arts and Heritage Society.
Applications are welcome from people with diverse skills and experience but we are particularly interested in those with a background in creative arts and music, building and estates management, public policy, arts education or mental healthcare. We are also keen to appoint one Trustee, with experience in administration and governance, as Secretary to the Board.
Knowledge of the charity sector is helpful but not essential. Previous board experience is also helpful but not required as new trustees will be supported in learning.

Opportunity details | The Horton Epsom – May Marketplace | CuratorSpace
You may be a seasoned Etsy seller or have just started experimenting with making your own items and want to give it a go. We are looking for artists and those with a specific craft who design and make their own high-quality original items.
Please note that this is a curated makers market, meaning that sellers will be selected to offer a diverse selection of original items for visitors, not based on first-come first-served. The event is free entry for visitors.
Sellers will pay a fee of:
£36 (inc VAT) for a pitch in our Performance Space.
£56 (inc VAT) for a pitch in our Atrium.
We will also be offering an extended pitch option, which will be a corner space or an extra space along a back wall.
This will be an extra half of the standard-size pitch, so you can request a pitch and a half if needed.
Prices for this are as follows:
Extended pitch (inc VAT) in the Performance Space – Additional £14
Extended pitch (inc VAT) in the Atrium – Additional £20
£5 table hire charge or it is free to bring your own table.
The Horton has free wi-fi, free parking, licensed café-bar and fully accessible set-up. The event will be promoted on our website, social media channels and through regional PR partners. Sellers can also collect promotional leaflets from The Horton to distribute, free of charge.
We are now using Curator Space for our marketplace applications. This will hopefully be an easier and smoother process for applicants as it allows you to complete the questions online, upload photos and public liability insurance when submitting your application.
Please note that we expect to receive many more applications than spaces available. Previous attendance does not guarantee a space as curation will be done to give customers the biggest range of stalls and type of product/artwork.
If you would like to be added to the Maker’s Market mailing list to be notified about future opportunities to sell, please email [email protected]

Volunteering with The Horton
Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, have fun and know that your contribution is of real value to the community.
As an independent charity, The Horton relies on volunteer support to make great things happen. Our volunteers can choose the hours that suit their lifestyle and interests.
Roles include: visitor assistant, event steward, hospitality assistant, arts workshop support, box office, small D.I.Y jobs and will soon be expanding to add gardening.
To express your interest, please complete the below application form. We will get back to you as soon as we can. It is a very busy time at The Horton and most staff are part time so this may not be straight away.
All volunteers are expected to carry out tasks in the spirit of The Horton’s values of tolerance, welcoming diversity and including everyone. Read about our Vision & Values to find out more.
