Known for its iconic Derby Day, this enchanting place has witnessed countless moments that have shaped its identity. Transport yourself to 1923 as Cecil Aldin's masterpiece "The Derby" captures the essence of this prestigious event. The Olympians gather at Epsom Downs, their anticipation palpable as they await the exhilarating race.

And then we fast forward to 1954 when the Epsom Derby takes center stage once again, showcasing thrilling displays of equine prowess. Beyond horse racing lies another facet of Epsom's history - the establishment of the Ewell Epileptic Colony.
