It’s the most wonderful time of the year but a dash over to Berlin or Frankfurt for their famous Christmas markets may not be prudent. Staying closer to home is a perfect (and cheaper) alternative.

The Epsom Christmas tree lights will be switched on at a special event on Friday 26 November.

Go Epsom have made a very generous contribution to new festive lighting throughout the town centre, so this year there will be an extra dazzling display.

There will be live music, a funfair, contributions from local schools, a delicious array of street food and the chance to meet the cast of Beauty and the Beast, this year’s Epsom Playhouse pantomime.

Free Christmas Parking

Parking will be free in Epsom & Ewell Borough Council shoppers car parks on Sundays 5/12/19 December. Council car parks in Ewell will offer free parking from 4pm on 3 December to support Ewell Yule. As more people than usual are expected to be travelling to visit loved ones this year, and they may not have access to residents parking zones, all council public car parks will offer free parking on Christmas Day
