About
A best-things-to-do file for Epsom has to include the racecourse. Its Derby heritage gives it an importance that reaches far beyond Surrey, and local reputation coverage consistently treats it as the defining landmark in the area.\n\nIt is also broader than race day alone. The Downs setting and event calendar mean it still matters as a destination even outside the biggest fixtures, which gives it a stronger place in the batch than a once-a-year attraction would have.
