Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Tadworth and Epsom Downs

10 picks around Tadworth and Epsom Downs, from 7 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.

25–26 July Near Tadworth and Epsom Downs

Not every listing gets a golden ticket

We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.

Happening Saturday 25 July to Sunday 26 July.
Picked for Tadworth and Epsom Downs, not somewhere halfway across the county.
Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.
Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

Backrooms: Everything Must Go1

Backrooms: Everything Must Go

at David Lean Cinema

BACKROOMS: EVERYTHING MUST GO 2026 | Dir Kane Parsons | USA | 126 min Stars: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass Clark, a furniture showroom owner discovers a mysterious doorway in his basement leading to the Backrooms — an endless maze of empty, eerie rooms. Drawn into the strange alternate dimension, he becomes increasingly obsessed, returning night after night to explore its depths. When Clark confides in his therapist, Dr Mary Kline, she struggles to believe his claims. But after Clark disappears while attempting to document the Backrooms with friends, Dr Kline is forced to venture into the unsettling labyrinth herself in search of her missing patient. Contains sequencies of flashing lights that may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy. Saturday 25 July at 2.00pm (HOH) More Info and Get Tickets
