This ever-popular market has around 40 stall holders bringing you the freshest produce and more.

Stirling Drama
Stirling Drama offers fun drama workshops for adults. The workshops offer fun drama games and activities to help build confidence and improve communication skills.
Drama is an amazing tool that helps to build these skills we all use in our everyday lives and make us happier as ourselves and in our own skin. Drama enables us to learn to trust ourselves, our bodies, our minds and other people.
Whether you are new to acting and drama or a professional actor you will benefit from these workshops and all are welcome.
There are lots and lots of drama schools available to children but not for adults and so I want to change that and offer something for adults. Who said it should be children having all the fun?
Stirling drama offers workshops on a Wednesday evening from 8:00-9:30pm at Epsom Methodist church and are currently offering a free taster session on Wednesday March 7th.

Make your child's development more fun!
Our fun, structured play sessions take children on a journey of sporting imagination with engaging and energetic coaches supporting them every step of the way whilst teaching how to catch, pass, kick, run with the ball and play as part of a team.
Our motto
Our motto is simple; "make it more fun". We do this by delivering our specifically designed programme for each age group with energy, enthusiasm and excitement. This creates an atmosphere in the class that is totally unique and engaging for parents and children alike.
What to expect
"Be prepared to run across the jungle, wade through the quick sand or sprint through Rugbytots Valley avoiding all the smoking boulders. Get ready to protect your egg, launch a missile or attack the pirates and seize the ship, all this of course, whilst trying to avoid the evil side lines!”

Spanish tuition
Fully qualified teacher of Spanish offers private tuition for all levels up to GCSE or A levels. Students who are falling behind and struggling to catch up with their class will be given support to progress beyond their predicted grades. I have experience with all range of students from the majority of our local primary and secondary school.
I have a very patient attitude. I believe everything can be explained in the simplest possible way and teaching is not only through being interactive and engaging with the students but also keeping them keen and captivated to learn.
