Herald of Spring

HERALD OF SPRING

If you’re looking for a family day out to kick start the Spring season, why not pop down to Herald of Spring this year?

This year’s event will be more jampacked than ever at Bourne Hall. There will be a range of beautiful floral arrangements to enjoy as well as a special display courtesy of Ashtead Park Garden Centre. You can meet the teams of local volunteers and countryside groups who will be happy to talk to you about the borough’s plentiful open spaces and what you can do to get involved. Come and join us in the cafe for a selection of hot drinks and home-made cakes! There will be a wide range of activities throughout the day, including trickery and sleight of hand from Close Up Magic,

kid’s games and activities from Hobbledown, Rainbow Leisure Centre and the Bourne Hall Museum – and for the grownups, a great selection of locally produced arts and crafts at the co-located Gift Market, organised by What’s On In Epsom. Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party!’ This year Bourne Hall is 50 years old and to celebrate its birthday we’re celebrating all things 1960s to help get everyone into a groovy vibe. So why not come on down to Ewell Village this March and celebrate the first days of Spring with us, plus a few extra special guests and surprises from the days of flower power.
