From Live Music to Family Fun – Summer at Epsom Downs Racecourse…
Posted by Juliet Wheater on 25 Jul 2026
I recently visited Epsom Downs Racecourse for one of their Summer Nights events, and I have to say, there are few better ways to spend a summer evening than singing along to ABBA classics, dancing with your best friend and enjoying the beautiful setting of Epsom Downs.
We really are lucky to have such an iconic venue on our doorstep. From world-class horse racing to fantastic live music and family events, there’s always something happening at Epsom Downs Racecourse throughout the year.
