Epsom Racecourse & king Charles 🤴 #Epsom #Epsomhorses #Kingcharles With the very wonderful Pixie Lott and Lemar, both were fantastic. The weather was dreadful it rained hard all day, but what a laugh dancing and placing little bets. We didn't get Christmas day, but we enjoyed watching everyone race. Lots of nice people and a friendly atmosphere. Ending with a fabulous dj set by Toby Anstis. Epsom Racecourse was a fantastic day out.

Explore one of Surrey's old market towns. Home of the Derby and with traditional market stalls by the Clock Tower. Fast trains to London mean it only takes 40 minutes!

me and dad went to the races on Saturday 6th June.

Great prices too

The Rising Sun 📍Epsom, Surrey Since its Derby weekend, it seems like a good time to feature a pub from my home town, and the pub that i consider my ‘local’. The Rising Sun is located down a backstreet just outside the town centre making it a bit of a hidden gem away from the riff-raff of the busy town centre. Previously part of the Youngs group (if i remember correctly) it was boarded up over covid and there was concern about whether or not it would reopen before being taken over by Big Smoke. With a huge sun-trap garden to enjoy on those sunny days, and a cosy interior with pictures of the races and Big Smoke posters adorning the walls, its great all year round. Theres a huge selection of beers available to suit every palate, and i’ve never had a bad meal here. They run deals and events like quizzes during the week and host several beer festivals throughout the year (a few photos supplied from last October), there is also water and treats supplied for those four-legged pub companions.

Spending Christmas in Stoneleigh with my relatives was the perfect holiday getaway. A charming place, dressed in festive lights, provided a cozy backdrop for family gatherings and seasonal celebrations. From cozy walks through picturesque streets to enjoying delicious home-cooked meals, every moment was filled with warmth and joy. Stoneleigh’s quiet charm combined with festive excitement truly made this holiday one to remember. It was wonderful to unwind and reconnect with loved ones after so long!
