The King's Arms is a traditional town-centre pub on the Bishopric, at the western end of Horsham's main shopping streets. It is one of the town's more music-minded locals, with live music on Fridays, a weekly quiz and a fortnightly open mic. The music happens in the main bar rather than a separate room.
