Royal Windsor Horse Show
8th-11th May

Royal Windsor Horse Show is a celebration of all things equestrian. It combines top sporting and competition action with a spectacular venue.

Located in the private gardens and parkland of Windsor Castle, the Show encompasses a huge variety of the sport. From the spectacular Land Rover Carriage Driving Grand Prix, national and international Show Jumping competitions, dressage and polo to extensive showing classes and enthralling equestrian displays, it is unique in its breadth of appeal.

Alongside the three show arenas you will find over 200 shops, The Food and Drink Festival, a variety of restaurants, bars, and food courts, a fun fair and 4 x 4 course, and if you tire of all that, there’s the beautiful grounds to walk and picnic in.

The British Jumping Derby Meeting
28th June-1st July
Hickstead, Sussex

The DFS British Jumping Derby is one of those events a bit like the Grand National where its not just the runners and riders that make the headlines but the course itself. Its an iconic showjumping contest, the like of which you won’t find anywhere else in the world, no other course asks this much of a test of horse and rider and no other course creates this type of drama.’ Clare Balding, BBC Sport Presenter

Royal International Horse Show
24th-29th July
Hickstead, Sussex

The Longines Royal International Horse Show is one of the oldest shows in the world, which celebrates its centenary this year. One of the biggest outdoor shows in the country, the RIHS uniquely sees the elite of many equestrian disciplines compete side by side: it has everything from the thrills…and spills… of international showjumping, to the elegance and glamour of the country’s very best showing horses and ponies, to the exhilarating buzz of the country’s best eventers flying across country.
