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.

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!

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!!

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.

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.

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

Good food and drink, though service a little slow. On the day I visited it was very busy with only one sitting area left. The library however seemed deserted.

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.
