Facilities

The ARENA

The All Weather Arena

The All Weather Arena is landscaped in the countryside, a beautifully finished 80m x 52m Martin Collins clopf © and sand surface with undercover standing room for horses and spectators. Adjoining the surface is a warm up arena of 55m x 30m, which can be amalgamated into the large surface if required.

The Arena

The Arena is a well maintained and watered grass ring of around 2.5 acres in size, complete with a derby bank, with its own grass warm up and collecting ring. Spectator benches and the pavilion highlight the amphitheatre design of the ring, giving atmosphere to any event.

Bridge Ring

Bridge Ring is a 60m x 80m flat grass ring with a warm up area adjacent. The quiet nature, level surface and trees lining the perimeter make this the perfect setting for young horses or novice riders.

Sponsors & Catering Pavilion

The Pavilion overlooks the main arena, with spectator seating both inside, outside and on the patio area. Top quality catering is provided here during events, in the form of full meals, buffets or snacks.

Secretary Area

A separate secretaries building is central to the rings, fully equipped with phone lines and wi-fi.

Judges Boxes

Both the all-weather surface and grass arena have purpose built judges boxes built above the rings to give a 180 degree view of the rings. These are finished to a high standard and fully equipped with phone lines, wi-fi, PA systems and their own timings systems and spectator clocks. The showground’s electricity is powered by solar and a newly installed hydro scheme.

Stabling

Thirty 12 x 12 permanent stables are onsite with lights both inside and out. Another 24 Le Cheveux temporary stables are available. These are on grass, with space to park your lorry close by. There is hand standing parking for 40 + lorries as well as grass parking, and 16 electric hook ups available. Plenty of space for caravans and tents.
