The celebrity ride and drive competitions will take place on Saturday 28 June and 5 July, while the puissance will be on Saturday 28 June. Sunday 29 June and Sunday 6 July will see the showjumping action come to a head with the grands prix.

The shopping village will showcase a fantastic range of products including high-end equestrian outlets, exclusive fashion retailers, unusual giftware and beautiful things for the home and garden. And visitors will be spoilt for choice when it comes to food, with anything from a gastro-pub style restaurant and champagne bar to a hog roast and doughnuts available.
