Jazz at Sullington Manor Farm
Start Your Weekend with Style – Saturday Brunch with Live Jazz at The Old Workshop Café
Join us for a vibrant morning of live music and great food at The Old Workshop Café as we present the much-anticipated Saturday Brunch with Big House. Kick off your weekend in the best way—with soulful, melodic jazz and a warm, lively atmosphere.
Big House is led by Mike Carey (piano) and Mike Comber (double bass), joined for this special event by guest percussionist and vibraphonist Jim Bernardin. The band originally formed during the Jazz at the Jailhouse sessions in Arundel, where they played as the resident house band supporting a range of guest artists. About six years ago, the group broke out on their own, creating an exciting, melodic, and accessible jazz-infused music that’s both fresh and rooted in tradition.
Their music blends original compositions with inventive takes on jazz standards—always delivered with energy, creativity, and a sense of fun. Big House has released four albums (including a live album of reimagined Duke Ellington tunes), an EP, and has a rich archive of original work ready to be recorded.
This is going to be a monthly series of laid back jazz sessions whilst you’re able to have your morning coffee and a bite to eat too. Each month, Big House will have a new guest with them to keep it fresh and fun. Why not enjoy a relaxed easy-going brunch with some great music too?!

NEWS RELEASE FROM HORSHAM DISTRICT COUNCIL
30 September 2026
Winter Warm Up events are back!
Residents are invited to take part in this year’s Winter Warm Ups, a popular programme of events designed to help people stay active, socially connected and well prepared for the colder months ahead.
Organised to support the wellbeing of older residents across the Horsham District, the 2026 Winter Warm Up season will feature two dedicated event days for those aged 50 and over, as well as an exciting new programme of fringe activities throughout the month of October.
As we get older, it can take more effort to get out, stay active and maintain social connections during the colder, darker months. Winter Warm Up events are designed to provide a welcoming and friendly environment where people can meet others, discover new interests and access valuable health and wellbeing support.
The Winter Warm Up event day in Storrington will take place on:
• Thursday 15 October 2026 at Chanctonbury Leisure Centre, Storrington.
Visitors can enjoy a wide range of free activities, information and support services, including sport taster sessions, hearing tests, vaccinations and health MOTs, electric blanket testing, arts and crafts workshops, health and wellbeing drop-in sessions and a large marketplace showcasing local groups, organisations and support services.
Everyone will also be offered a free bowl of hot soup and a roll.
New for 2026 is the Winter Warm Ups Fringe Programme. The Programme will shine a spotlight on the fantastic range of activities and opportunities already taking place across the District through local clubs, community groups and organisations.
The Fringe Programme is an opportunity for residents to find activities closer to home that help them stay active, build confidence and make new social connections throughout the winter months and beyond.
Horsham District Council Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities, Councillor Belinda Walters said:
“Winter can be a challenging time for many people, particularly as the days become shorter and the weather becomes colder.
Our Winter Warm Up events offer a fantastic opportunity for residents aged 50 and over to come together, try something new, access helpful advice and services, and connect with others in their community.
Whether you’re interested in improving your health, meeting new people or simply finding out what’s available locally, there’s something for everyone.
We look forward to welcoming residents to this year’s events.”
The Winter Warm Ups are free to attend and open to all residents aged 50 and over. Further details about the event days and Winter Warm Up Fringe activities can be found on the Council website at:
