Events and venues around Epsom
Epsom Downs Racecourse is home to the Derby, and the open Downs around it fill with spectators on big race days. The racecourse also hosts conferences, exhibitions and private functions. Nearby open spaces such as Epsom Common and the lavender fields on the Reigate Road host seasonal and open-air events, and the town centre and Market Place hold community events.
Why open downland events need careful cover
Large crowds spread over open grass, heat on a summer race day, and alcohol all raise the medical risk. Medirek's approach for this kind of event combines:
- Crowd medics who can reach, stabilise and extract a patient back to a treatment point. See festival and crowd cover.
- 4×4 response for patients on grass or away from roads. See remote area and 4×4 support.
- Tiered teams so one incident does not leave the rest of a large site without cover.
Planning notes for Epsom events
Race days and large events bring heavy traffic on the roads across the Downs, so emergency access and egress routes are agreed in advance. Epsom Hospital is the local hospital. Medirek aims to treat on site where it is safe to do so, which reduces the load on local services and on the event.
