Every year, shows are run at our centre from affiliated British Dressage and British Show jumping to grass roots unaffiliated dressage and show jumping. We offer qualifiers, summer Championships and a winter points series. The facilities, accessibility, location, setting and professional helpful staff make for a fantastic venue.
What’s more, we have great attractions on site to enhance your visit; including an Animal Zone (with over 1000 animals) and a coffee shop
