Badminton Horse Trials will take place from Wednesday 8th to Sunday 12th May 2024. The event is staged within the beautiful grounds of the Badminton Estate in South Gloucestershire.

Wednesday is the first day of the event with our array of over 500 tradestands opening for business, the international competition kicking off with the ‘First Horse Inspection’ in the afternoon. Wednesday is also when the Voltaire Design Grassroots Championships (national finals for BE90 and BE100 horses & riders, which includes dressage, showjumping and cross-country) and the Dubarry Burghley Young Event Horse Class take place.

The International event continues with Dressage on the Thursday and Friday where visitors can also enjoy the expert dressage display on Thursday at around 12:30. The Stallion parade is an added bonus to Thursday visitors in the main arena from 5pm approx.

The Saturday crowds at Badminton will enjoy the Shetland Pony Grand National in the main arena before the thrills and spills of the Cross Country phase starts.

Sunday is the culmination of the International competition and is a Show Jumping test over knock down arena jumps. This annual spectacle offers a great day out for all the family (including dogs!), where great hospitality options, shopping, top level equestrian sport and more can be enjoyed in a stunning location.

NB: Dogs not allowed in restaurants or grandstands.
