A day at the races - Epsom Downs Racecourse
With a history of racing stretching back to the 1600s, it's little wonder 'Epsom Downs' has become such a prestigious name in British equestrian. This Grade I racecourse in Surrey plays host to the famous Epsom Derby every year in June, and regularly fills its 130,000 capacity for various other events. Whether you're a racing nut, or just a newcomer looking for some fun, a day out at Epsom is something everyone can enjoy.
Conferences at Epsom
Just half an hour outside of central London, in the stunning North Downs of Surrey, Grade 1 Epsom Downs Racecourse is equipped with excellent conference, event and exhibition facilities, overlooking beautiful natural scenery to one side, and the iconic London skyline to the other.

More than just a racecourse
Though the racecourse is the main attraction, Epsom has a range of other things to see and do. Take the kids for a day at Hobbledown Adventure Park, have a relaxing stroll around Nonsuch Park, dig into a delectable meal at one of the town's many restaurants, or have a drink at one of its rustic pubs.
