Where Racing History Comes Alive: Epsom Stock Footage
Epsom. The name itself conjures images of thundering hooves, grandstand cheers, and a rich story of British sporting heritage. More than just a racecourse, Epsom is a town deeply intertwined with the history of horse racing, a place where tradition meets dynamic modern life.

Epsom Racecourse Stock Footage Preview
Epsom Downs Racecourse: The Home of The Derby
Epsom Downs Racecourse, perched on the North Downs in Surrey, is hallowed ground for flat racing enthusiasts. It is, without doubt, best known globally as the home of the Epsom Derby, Britain's richest flat horse race and arguably the most prestigious of the five Classics. Run annually on the first Saturday of June, the Derby is not merely a horse race; it's a monumental social and sporting event, attracting royalty, celebrities, and tens of thousands of spectators. Its foundation dates back to 1780, initiated by the 12th Earl of Derby and Sir Charles Bunbury, and it has been run continuously ever since, even through two World Wars, though sometimes at alternative venues. The Derby holds a unique place in British culture, synonymous with tradition, fashion, and thrilling competition.
My drone footage showcases Epsom Racecourse in brilliant sunshine with blue skies, with wide, establishing views that capture the sheer scale of the course. You'll see the expansive gallops area, where countless thoroughbreds are trained, and the surrounding countryside, a blend of rural beauty against the backdrop of the Downs. I also captured a dramatic reveal of the racecourse through a tunnel of dark trees, emerging over puddles at dusk under moody, cloudy skies – a truly atmospheric shot. There are wide views of the course against brilliant moody skies, perfect for setting a powerful scene.
Epsom Town Centre: A Historic Market Town
Epsom town centre, located nearby, is a historic market town with a vibrant high street and a railway station that acts as a crucial gateway, especially on Derby Day. The town's history stretches back to the Roman era, but it gained prominence in the 17th century with the discovery of Epsom Salts (magnesium sulphate) in its local springs, attracting visitors as a spa town. This legacy is hinted at in its elegant architecture. The town also boasts civic buildings like the Epsom Assembly Rooms, which would have hosted social gatherings for centuries.
My footage of the town includes Epsom Railway Station, capturing people, buildings, and vehicles, with trains arriving at and leaving the main station entrance. You’ll find wide shots of Epsom high street and buses moving through the town. I also captured the Epsom clocktower, a local landmark, and a fantastic, subtle reveal of "The Evocation of Speed" horse racing sculpture in Epsom Market Place – a gorgeous transition from a fan taking a photo to a wide, establishing view of the town centre. From high above, you’ll see top-down aerial views of the town and trains at the station. Uniquely, I also captured gorgeous wide shots of the town with the distant London city skyline as a background, highlighting Epsom's proximity to the capital. There’s even footage of an open-top bus carrying horse racing spectators exiting the bus at the train station, adding to the sense of event day atmosphere.

Consider the alternatives: hiring a dedicated camera crew for even a few weeks, or licensing thousands of individual clips from major platforms with restrictive broadcast licenses, could easily exceed this cost without providing the sheer volume, unique perspective, or crucial lifetime updates. This is potentially the most cost-effective way to secure a vast, high-quality, and perpetually growing UK-focused footage archive.
