Epsom Playhouse is a 406-seat theatre playing host to a variety of entertainments such as opera, dance, drama, comedy, and pantomime. In the summer, the theatre hosts a summer film series.

The Playhouse (as it is locally referred to) is located in the south-western end of Epsom town centre, adjoining the Ashley Shopping Centre and car park. It was built as part of the Ashley Centre development in the early 1980s, opening in 1984. It is currently managed by Epsom and Ewell Borough Council.
