Epsom and Ewell

Epsom and Ewell is a borough in Surrey comprising three main settlements: Epsom, Ewell, and Stoneleigh. The district functions with Epsom serving as its primary administrative center.

In the early 1600s, the discovery of magnesium sulfate springs led to the creation and naming of Epsom salts. This turned the area into a popular health destination.

The Playhouse hosts regular opera, drama, ballet, and musical performances throughout the year. These shows are central to the local cultural scene and draw residents and visitors to the town's entertainment venues.

The district has extensive green spaces with over 40 percent of its territory designated as protected green belt land, including Epsom Common Nature Reserve. These areas offer visitors plenty of outdoor activities and recreational opportunities.

The area is home to the University for the Creative Arts and Laine Theatre Arts, both focused on creative education and performance training. These institutions bring a strong emphasis on performing arts to the local community.
