The end of the summer looks set to be a winner as tickets go on-sale for the 2024 Cornbury House Horse Trials, which will take place from 11 –15 September in the heart of the Cotswolds at one of the most prestigious estates, Cornbury House, located in Charlbury, Oxfordshire.

The five-day international event, which is now in its fifth year is the ideal setting to watch some of the finest young horses and riders in the country competing in dressage, cross-country and showjumping. Away from the world-class competition, this unique event is not just for any horse enthusiast but food lovers and families of all ages, with the five days also offering local produce and brilliant entertainment.

​A celebration of local food and drink with a new ‘From the Farm’ offering, as the estate brings together the best of the locals with Cornbury Farm, Bruern Farm, Honeydale Farm all featuring the best of their produce to offer our visitors.

David Howden, Cornbury House Horse Trials Founder and President said: “There is so much planned for Cornbury House Horse Trials this year, which my wife, Fiona and I are very excited to announce. I’ve no secret of the fact that I am passionate about supporting the best British-based talent, and that we are utterly committed to helping the stars of our sport – present and future – to reach their goals. We are delighted to be once again hosting the prestigious British Eventing Young Horse Championships.

“This year we are really hoping to put Cornbury House Horse Trial on the map with lots planned to attract more visitors. Alongside the superb competition a big focus will be on offering exceptional and local food and drink for everyone.

“We are particularly excited about our ongoing partnership with The Bull in local Charlbury who will be delivering the food offering in our VIP hospitality marquee across the week. Last year the team from The Bull produced pure food theatre which also featured our own Cornbury Longhorn Beef.

“I can promise our visitors that this year not only will they be immersed in the very best of British Eventing - all the British Olympic riders and many of the international riders will be there - but also a fabulous day out in a beautiful Cotswold setting.”

Laura Collett, winner of the Leading Rider prize at Cornbury in 2023 and an Olympic team gold medal winner for Britain, said: “Cornbury has raised the bar each year as far as what is on offer for spectators, riders and owners! It’s a fantastic event that provides spectacular hospitality for owners and spectators alongside hosting a brilliant competition.”

Cornbury House are proud to be partnering with Pol Roger who celebrate their 175th anniversary this year along with Pragnell, Volare Aviation and Fortnum & Mason to help execute this wonderful event.
