History

Since the discovery of Epsom Salts in 1618, Epsom has attracted visitors and entrepreneurs from all over the world. The health-giving benefits of the local waters turned the small farming community into a famed spa destination, visited by King Charles II and Samuel Pepys.

The rich and well-connected landowners who moved to the region later established the tradition of horseracing up on the Downs. Epsom Derby Day, named after the 12th Earl of Derby (1753 – 1834), still attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every June, including HRH Queen Elizabeth II, to enjoy horseracing, hospitality and dramatic views of London.

Arts

Epsom is home to a host of creative talent, from the multi-arts MGSO4 Festival, to renowned local institutions. Laine Theatre Arts and the University of Creative Arts have a high-profile alumni, producing graduates who go on to become West End musical stars and leaders of fashion and design.

Epsom Square proudly sponsored the first MGSO4 Festival, providing a venue for live music, exhibitions and workshops.
