Modern (1970) circular building and community resource, with a most interesting museum on the mezzanine floor. Interpretation panels everywhere.

The grounds are nice for a quiet sit down, looking out over the river. Ducks to feed and nice flowers/shrubs. Family and dog friendly.

Calling in at the end of a walk alongside a local stream, We found a nice , light, internal space with a library and various meeting facilities.
At the moment, there's a display of local schoolchildren's art work, and some of it was very good indeed.
There's also a small cafe - pleasant enough, and serves a good cup of tea.

Visited cafe whilst at the library. Lovely warmed fruit scones served with jam of choice and butter. Coffee and hot chocolate were both good. Cost is very reasonable. Library and museum worth the visit.

1970 built multi-purpose building with library, museum & function rooms. Outside resembles a Gerry Anderson space craft for Joe 90. It's now grade 2 listed.

What a great asset to the community this place is. A real hub of activity. Gardens, cafe, museum and library. Lots of clubs and activities for everyone. Always pleasant to visit.
I'm not too keen on the architecture of the building as it is out of keeping with the environment.

Used a room here for my sons 6th birthday, we used the catering staff, and everything was well organised, good value, and party went off like a dream. Highly recommend hiring here. The library is great as well, and the cafe!

Great park, lovely venue with craft fairs/coffee shop etc, but the library is the best part. Super-friendly and helpful staff, the area is always tidy and well presented (as are the staff!) and a great kids section - well done Bourne Hall.

It is a local hub of community activity, with dozens of clubs meeting in its numerous halls for everything from Bridge, to keep fit, art classes, dancing, craft fairs etc. It certainly is well used. The Library is also located here and has internet facilities. The local Museum is also here and considering the space and facilities here they do a good job with some small exhibitions varying through out the year. There are often art exhibitions in the foyer area, and a small cafe.
The toilets and halls are all a bit dated in there decor, but functional. It is not the cheapest hall hire but there are several of different sizes and varying facilities.
It is set in a good small park with a lake. Parking is good but when all the halls are being used it fills up easily.
I would use the halls for a club meet but not to get married in unless the budget was small.
It does look like a flying saucer from the outside, but I think that's fun. Maybe when the council has some spare money (probably never) it would consider modernising it.

Bourne hall is in the middle of Ewell, one side of the one way system. I came to the Christmas craft fair, which was nice with lots of ideas for presents. The library is fairly big and in the museum there is always something.interesting to see. The cafe is ok too and the park is right next door for a stroll. I would miss it if it weren't there.

Being brought up in Ewell, have used Bourne Hall many times over the years, from passing through during school days, meeting friends and in later years playing with our children. Clean and safe park, the water is fenced off securely and the children just love running around the park. They will get muddy and dirty, so be aware when getting back into the car! Ample parking available, payment is required so check the pay machines! Always bring some bread and nuts - the bread will be devoured by the swans, ducks, seagulls and ever present pigeons. The nuts, well, be careful, as you will be mugged by the ever increasing population of squirrels, they will take it out of your hands but not for the younger ones, they do have sharp teeth and claws!!! Mind you, the Canada geese and swans can give a nasty peck as well - not out of malice, only pure greed for the bread! For those venturing inside Bourne Hall, the museum gives a detailed history of the surroundings, very interesting if that floats your boat. The café will provide basic staples for refreshment but Ewell has many alternatives if you wish. Budding adventurers may wish to follow the stream down across the road and towards the old mill, now converted into offices but a decent walk over a sometimes rocky and muddy path. Resident kingfishers can be glimpsed but they are so fast it is difficult to catch a decent view. The path follows the river all the way down to Ewell Court Path, under the railway tunnel which is superb for echoes, much to the children's delight. A pleasant location to spend an afternoon, whether weekend or weekday.

Odd shaped building which does the best it can, I think. It has numerous rooms for all kinds of meetings and societies, plus a library and a cafe, which is better now its downstairs. The museum is upstairs and its ok for a quick visit but is a bit pedestrian.

Not enough people take their children there to see some great exhibits in the small museum. The building itself would hold many kids interest

Loved our visit here. Part of Epsoms heritage. Costs nothing to walk in and take a look. Fascinating look at how it used to be in Epsom and how different it is now. Really worth a look. Plus changes all the time.

Library is average for the area, but very quiet if you want to study/read.
Museum is good has recently been changed around, so new things to look at. It is upstairs, there is a small lift to access if you do not wish to use the stairs.
The ground and lake are excellent and generally very peaceful, often have lunch outside when I visit. There is a small cafe inside if you wish to use which has a selection of sandwiches, cakes and drinks etc. I have used the cafe many times and it is good and staff are friendly.

Set in the middle of the narrow, winding roads of Ewell Village, Bourne Hall is a lovely little park featuring a lake area with ducks, swans & geese, lots of trees with squirrels and and a function hall to boot.
Location isn't the most quiet, what with the main thoroughfare (if you can call it that) of Ewell village adjacent, but still a beautiful little oasis in a lovely little town.
Also, right now (as of March 2014), the lake area has overflown and the main road continues to be flooded as a result! Not sure if it's because of the recent wet weather or something else, but it's quite a spectacle watching a bus go over the water and literally create waves!!

My husband and I go just to visit the park, see the wild animals and feed the squirrels! You can also feed the ducks and swans and geese, but it's much more fun to hand-feed a grey squirrel with a monkey nut. Will always go there whenever we can get a hold of monkey nuts!

My daughter booked the large downstairs hall for my grandson's birthday. The day was very well organised, plenty of soft play equipment, a break half way through the party for food ( this allowed for the equipment to be set up again for the second half of the party). The party organisers were very helpful and there was a cafe upstairs for drinks and snacks where parents could go and escape the party. Parking was reasonable and the grounds surrounding the hall pleasant. Worth a visit to take a picnic to the hall gardens and speak a relaxing afternoon.
