This is an example of a community building that works with a library, cafe, museum a number of rooms for hire and a basement theatre.

Having visited Bourne Hall on numerous occasions, there is always something to keep the whole family occupied. You can either park at the location or in various car parks around Ewell. We mainly use this as an opportunity to let the kids run riot around the spectacular grounds and also to feed the ducks and squirrels. Wellies are advised, as it can be very muddy and the various deposits from the birds can clog up the trainers very quickly! Beware, the canada geese can and will peck the food out of your hands so little fingers are at risk. Carry some handwash with you as you will need it after having pigeons landing on you!! For the more adventurous, cross over the road by the old spring that was used to cool off the wagon wheels and walk upto the old mill (now a business building) and in season a flash of a kingfisher can be seen.

I have been to Bourne hall many times when my Son was younger. Lovely quaint little park where you can feed ducks and squirrels. Bourne hall it's self is good you can visit the mini museum inside. There's abundance of activities to do example yoga,line dancing. I haven't booked any of these classes yet, but if look when you walk in there's a bulletin board that tells you what's going on.I go there every four months to give blood.

I've been going to Bourne Hall for many years. There is parking for a good amount of cars, has beautiful grounds to sit and watch the birds and squirrels or feed the ducks and swans that are swimming in the fountained lake.
The hall houses a library, function rooms, a museum, toilets, cafe and sometimes they hold art exhibitions.

The cafe in Bourne Hall has been awarded level 5 ( the highest ) again for food hygiene. The park around is beautiful with a small lake and fountain . There are ducks and geese on the lake . For those with families and small children there are toilets in Bourne Hall. Drawback is small car park. Buses 293 406 stop outside. Just up the road on the Main Street is a Sainsbury's local which sells good selection of sandwiches . etcetera.

A unique building relic, built around the 1960s and always a pleasant place to visit due to the high ceilings and very open plan nature. It has hardly changed over the years though, and therefore deserves some form of refurbishment. Attended a large memorial event in one of the halls and set up films in the downstairs main hall. Good food and service provided by the hall team, though obviously this can be an expensive option with the hall hires as well. Staff were polite and helpful. There is a cafe too, conveniently situated on the ground floor. The grounds of the hall is a handy area to have lunch when the weather is good, and there is also a lake present. Library is useful too.
Information on my ratings:
5* I give relatively few. Has to be a place I would either go to regularly and consistently provide a cut above the rest, or a place that I may have visited just once and offered a particularly memorable experience or be exceptional value.
4* is a place I enjoy and would tend to go back to if the opportunity was presented. Probably a good level to aim at for a catering/hospitality business, as too many 5* suggests you may be underselling/undermarketing.
3* places - are adequate and I would sometimes go back to but other choices are generally preferred; normally there is obvious room for improvement, usually in the offering and value.
2* places - have issues that make the experience below par,
1* places - hope I don't end up in one of these!

Found in a lovely park, Bourne Hall is a wonderful idea of what people thought the future of architecture might be. It houses a library and other community facilities but the most interesting is the local museum. Housed on the first floor, it covers everything from the Romans to toys we bought for our children in the 1980s (remember the Fisher-Price toy phone?). Some interesting exhibits including models of Epsom race course and items on its history. Worth a quick visit if you are in Ewell.

I hold a Fayre at Bourne Hall each year for a charity. The venue is very nice and the staff are very helpful. There is also a small refreshment bar that serves nice sandwiches teas and coffee etc. There is plenty of parking for cars, however this can be fairly expensive if you are spending the day there.
