Lots going on here. Library Excellent museum. Activities for all ages Lovely grounds with wildlife. The building style is not to everyone's taste but the low profile enables it to blend in really well

Very friendly squirrels, although the geese can be a little intimidating to children.

Multi- functional centre with a library, restaurant, museum, tearooms, conference rooms, massive garden, spring and fountain with loads of birds and squirrels to admire whenever the weather permits.
It is a serene place me and my family have acquainted ourselves with over the years: tucked in beautifully at the heart of Ewell Village.

Popped into this interesting little round building to use their facilities but found more with a little gem of a museum. Interesting historic artifacts and costumes were a delight to see. The little park was very nice too.

An interesting building set in a beautiful park with extensive walking trails and housing a museum, cafe and meeting rooms, a hub for the people of Ewell.

It is a "jack of all trades” in a sense, with a library, cafe photocopying facilities and lovely grounds. ALSO great place to park if you are going the adjacent GP’s where parking is limited. Good for dog walking and feeding the ducks on the lake.

Good to walk around and to go for a coffee. Nice grounds, great museum. If you're in the area or a local you should spend the time to visit or visit more often.

Bourne Hall is shaped like a spaceship with a good cade and library in the building. However the real gem is the museum on. the first floor which gives a fascinating insight into the history of the town; it even holds an old carriage with its own history. The curators are only too happy to answer questions.

Went for a walk with a friend an took them to Bourne Hall cafe for a drink. Two very nice hot chocolates.
Nice grounds to walk around in visit the lake, feed the ducks (grains/seeds), water wheel and large green open space.

Hot chocolate and toasted teacake before going in the library. A nice hot chocolate plenty of flavour. Staff nice and helpful. Gluten free cakes available if required. Brownies, etc. Teacake came with butter packs and jam.

Good selection of books and you can sit and read with a coffee or other hot beverage and maybe a slice of cake! More people should use the Library full stop!

There is plenty to see at Bourne Hall. A good library with very helpful staff, changing art exhibitions and very interesting exhibits in the museum.

Great place to sit and unwind by the lake. You can use the library or check the museum, lots of historical facts about Ewell.

Finally sorted out the coffee shop here! Love bourne hall outside, but it didn't cater for families with only one highchair in the past. Speaking to the staff in the coffee shop last week they are now council run and have dropped their prices and finally have a batch of highchairs for families! New food and drink options are coming too, so it is becoming a really good lunchtime/tea n cake stop!

Brilliant service, ideal location and reasonable. Exactly what we wanted. Thank you to the staff who made our surprise party perfect in every way - you really went above and beyond to meet our every requirement.

We went to Bourne Hall today. I didn't know there was a craft fair or I would have brought some spending money with me. Lovely range of products to look at including some pottery and wooden bowls as well. The library is spacious and staff are helpful too. Borrowing books was easy. However I wish I had known about the new Open Ticket Scheme that seems to be in effect. I would go there again. There is a nice coffee shop on site although the range of food to buy appears to be limited. The upstairs museum is good for children.
Highly recommended

Having visited Bourne Hall many times, for both the building activities and the park & lake, the 9 year old was very excited to see a brief history of the Tudors - showing the WORST employment opportunities of youngsters in Tudor times that would have been available at the nearby Nonsuch Palace. There were VERY graphic demonstrations of the various roles - from rat catcher, spit boy, groom of the stool, wool dyer and executioner to mention a few! The 9 year old was active in the role of rat catcher, hitting a rat (ITS ONLY A PUPPET, before anyone complains), until it was REALLY dead - apparently it rolls over when it is! The scary bit was the excellent British practice of being HUNG, DRAWN & QUARTERED, (something that may / should be applicable today?), and the chosen audience member for this one thought the executioner was a bit too realistic - with his massive axe, but no harm done!! For £5 (per child) with the adult going free, an excellent hours and a half spent - along with some little known facts about the Tudors to dazzle (hopefully) the teachers back at school. The next show of interest is apparently Battlefield Medicine - run by an ex-soldier with experience in Afghanistan and with a knowledge of old medical practices as well - I will probably enjoy this one more than the daughter!! Can't wait!!
