Whether families are looking to get creative, stay active, or simply enjoy time together in a welcoming outdoor setting, Family Fridays offers a relaxed and inclusive environment right in the heart of the town.

Organised by Go Epsom, the town’s Business Improvement District (BID), Family Fridays is part of a wider commitment to supporting the local community, boosting footfall in the town centre, and creating memorable experiences for residents and visitors. This year, the initiative is expanding its community focus further, with plans to work alongside and support local charities throughout the event series. The charities are doing this for free, a small donation would be appreciated. This added element will help raise awareness for important causes while keeping the focus firmly on community engagement.

There is no entry fee, and all activities are completely free. There is also no need to book in advance — families can simply turn up and take part. This makes it an ideal option during the school holidays, offering high-quality entertainment without the financial pressure.

Karen Pengelly, Business District Improvement Manager said:

“Family Fridays has become a much-anticipated part of the summer in Epsom, and we are delighted to be bringing it back once again. It is incredibly important to us that families have access to affordable ways to spend time together, particularly during the school holidays when costs can quickly increase.

By offering a wide range of fun, free activities for all ages, we are creating an inclusive environment where everyone can take part and enjoy themselves. This year, we are also looking forward to supporting local charities and highlighting the fantastic work they do across our community.”
