In 2010, Horslunde was named "Village of the Year" by the National Association of Villages in Denmark. The jury emphasized that through popular commitment and community involvement, the town had managed to preserve a number of both public and private services. These include a
daycare,
kindergarten, elementary school,
private school, youth club, sports hall, library, elderly center, bus terminal, music school, medical school, a pharmacy, post office, grocery shop,
filling station, and bakery. The town upholds traditions such as
shrovetide,
midsummer,
harvest festivals, and
Christmas trees, but has also created a new initiative it calls "Horslunde as an energy village", through which local craftsmen have carried out energy-saving work worth almost 8 million
DKK, with support from
Realdania and the state's initiative fund, as well as installing solar cells in the fields adjacent to the town. The Nordvestskolen public school has a branch in Horslunde with 275 pupils in grades 0-9, as well as the Ravnekrogen after-school care centre. The town also previously featured Horslunde
Realskole, a private school which taught pupils in grades 0-9. In January 2024, it was announced that the school would close in March, however, that same month the school declared
bankruptcy and closed with immediate effect. == Notable people ==
