Anyway, enough of the sensible stuff!

We are easy to talk to and welcome your suggestions, feedback and ideas to improve on what we can offer you. We are also a big employer of UCA students and if you’re interested in working for us and you think you’ve got what it takes to work a busy bar contact us via Facebook as soon as possible for further details.
People hate Mondays. We love them and you will too! The biggest and the best, I LOVE MONDAYS is an exclusive student night tailored just for you! So, what ya waiting for? Come and Boogie!

1 ) BUY A CAMERA; DISPOSABLE OR DIGITAL AND TAKE PICTURES OF EVERYTHING!
2) MAKE SURE YOU GO TO ALL THE STUDENT NIGHTS, HAVE STUPID AMOUNTS OF FUN AND MEET LOTS OF PEOPLE BECAUSE THIS IS THE TIME TO MAKE FRIENDS!
3) FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS, TAKE THE WORD ‘NO’ OUT OF YOUR VOCABULARY! SAY YES TO ALL OPPORTUNITIES, TAKE PART, GET INVOLVED, TRY NEW THINGS AND HAVE FUN.
4) EPSOM IS FULL OF SOME GREAT PEOPLE AND OPPORTUNITIES, LOOK AROUND TOWN FOR FUN SPORTS TEAMS OR CLUBS TO JOIN.
5 ) ALTHOUGH FRESHERS WEEK IS NOTORIOUS FORDRINKING A LITTLE TOO MUCH- REMEMBER YOUR SELF RESPECT AND THAT YOU PROBABLY DON’T WANT TO GET A BAD REPUTATION IN YOUR FIRST WEEK. REMEMBER WHAT YOU ARE HERE FOR.
Top 10 Freshers Survival Tips:
6) AS TEMPTING AS IT IS TO SKIP LECTURES, ESPECIALLY THE MORNING AFTER A CRAZY NIGHT OUT, REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE PAYING THOUSANDS OF POUNDS TO DO YOUR COURSE AND THAT THESE FIRST FEW WEEKS ARE KEY FOR GETTING TO KNOW YOUR TUTORS AND COURSE.
7 ) YOUR STUDENT LOAN WON’T LAST FOREVER, SO SPEND YOUR MONEY WISELY. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A ‘POOR STUDENT’, JUST LOOK OUT FOR THE BEST DEALS AROUND TOWN AND ALWAYS ASK FOR STUDENT DISCOUNT.
8) DON’T JUST SIT IN YOUR ROOM BY YOURSELF, YOU COULD HAVE STAYED AT HOME AND DONE THAT FOR A MUCH SMALLER PRICE. GO OUT, EXPLORE AND TAKE IN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. REMEMBER; TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU HAVE EVER BEEN AND THE YOUNGEST YOU WILL EVER BE SO MAKE THE MOST OF THIS TIME!
9) STOCK UP AND TAKE MULTIVITAMINS OR YOU WILL GET FRESHERS FLU AND DIE! JK, BUT YOU WILL GET RUN DOWN AND FEEL LIKE CRAP AND THAT’S NEVER FUN.
1 0) MAKE SURE YOU LIKE ALL THE UCASU GROUPS AND FRESHERS PAGES FOR YOUR YEAR, AS WELL AS THE BOOGIE LOUNGE I LOVE MONDAYS PAGE ON FACEBOOK AND WE’LL MAKE SURE THAT THERE’S ALWAYS SOMETHING FUN TO DO!

EPSOMAll about
Epsom was founded in or about the 6th century.
Epsom LandmarksOne of the most distinctive surviving landmark has to be the Clock Tower (that big tower clock that looks like Big Ben) This was regularly wound by a volunteer member of the public, but also accommodated the lock-up and its keeper and the Constable.
EPSOM IS FAMOUS FOR 3 THINGS:
1. Epsom Salts
Tradition told how the healing powers of the waters were discovered around 1618. From this, Epsom was known as a spa town in 17th Century.
Some beauty tips for Epsom Salt:“Epsom salt is a pure mineral compound (magnesium sulfate) in crystal form that gently exfoliates skin and smoothes rough patches. Regularly used by a growing number of models and actresses, it’s a popular natural choice for beauty enhancement. Mix it with your favorite deep conditioner to add body to your hair or dissolve in a bath to replenish the body’s magnesium levels. A relaxing soak in Epsom salt can help relieve stress and leave you feeling revived.” Epsom Salt Council
So take your study stresses away and relax in a bath of Epsom Salt
2. The Derby and the Oaks horse racing.
One of the biggest racing events in the UK. Imagine the entire Downs filled with lots of people and lots of fun! Ladies Day is filled with glamorous men and women, suits, dresses and top hats so take an opportunity to get yourself to this fabulous annual event. Derby Day is probably one of the only times the Queen will grace our lovely town. You can find her watching the event from the Queen Stand on Epsom Downs. One of the most famous events to happen at the Epsom Derby was Emily Davison stepping in front of King George V’s horse Anmer. To stand up for Womens right to vote! Her fellow suffragettes made her into an international martyr.
Interesting fact about the Epsom Downs:
The Queen’s Stand at Epsom Downs race course featured as the airport of ST Petersburg in the James Bond film ‘Golden Eye’ 1995
Epsom Mental Hospitals
Yes, we were once famous for our Mental Hospitals. In 1888 the London County Council began building institutions to house up to 2000 pauper lunatics.
The three hospitals were:
ST Ebba’sLong GroveWest Park
However these hospitals were closed down in the early 2000’s. A lot of the hospitals have been demolished and developed into housing estates. West Park hospital still stands and is great for photography opportunities if you can get passed the metal fences and security!
