Sussex Ride and Stride
Friends will be taking part in the 2017 Sussex Ride and Stride
Quaker Meeting Houses (including Horsham Meeting House, right) will be among the churches and chapels open on Saturday 9 September for the 2017 Sussex Ride and Stride.
Organised by Sussex Historic Churches Trust (SHCT), this is a sponsored ride (bike or horse) or walk in which people from all over Sussex walk or cycle between churches, exploring and enjoying the countryside. The aim is to raise money to preserve historic churches, chapels and Meeting houses in the county for future generations by helping to fund urgent repairs and restoration.
There is no fixed route, so participants can choose which church or chapel is their start point, which is their end, and how many they visit in between.
Fifty per cent of the sponsorship goes directly to participants’ chosen church; the other fifty per cent goes to the SHCT fund.
