Reach local people. Support local journalism. Grow your business.
📍 LOCAL AUDIENCE 💻 DIGITAL 📰 PRINT 📱 SOCIAL 🤝 COMMUNITY
The Epsom & Ewell Times connects businesses with people who live, work, shop and spend in Epsom, Ewell and the surrounding area.
We are an independent, not-for-profit local news service covering the stories that matter to our community — local government, business, schools, sport, culture, community organisations, transport, environment and everyday life.
If your customers are local, your advertising should be local too.
WHY ADVERTISE WITH EET?
🎯 Reach the people who matter to your business
National advertising can reach thousands of people who will never become your customers.
Advertising with the Epsom & Ewell Times puts your business in front of a concentrated local audience.
Our readers include:
• homeowners and families
• commuters and professionals
• local business owners
• parents and grandparents
• community volunteers
• sports and cultural audiences
• councillors and local decision-makers
• people actively interested in what is happening where they live
For shops, restaurants, professional services, trades, schools, clubs, venues and other local organisations, that means advertising where your potential customers already are.

The Epsom & Ewell Times is a not-for-profit local news service.
Advertising income helps meet the cost of producing independent journalism for the community.
So when a local business advertises with EET it achieves two things:
📣 Promotes the business
and
📰 Supports independent local news
That is a partnership from which the whole community can benefit. Businesses benefit from local media holding local government to account.
