Hörby is famous for being one of the transmitting stations specified on old MF radio receivers. The broadcasting signals (radio, TV) are still transmitted from the Teracom transmitting station in Östra Sallerup, 7 km south of Hörby village. MF transmissions do not occur from Hörby any more,but from the new transmitter in Soelvesborg, inaugaurated in 1985, at the coast of the Baltic Sea.

Every year since 1748, on the first Thursday in July, the Hörby Market (Hörby Marknad) attracts thousands of visitors. The Hörby Market is one of the three main traditional markets in Skåne (Kivik and Sjöbo being the other two).
