Bringing world-class equestrian eventing to the Cotswolds once again, the Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials returns from Thursday 19 to Sunday 22 September 2024.
Watch pro equestrians compete in dressage, cross country and show jumping events across the four days — and with Blenheim attracting the very top athletes, there's a good chance you'll see Olympic riders like Laura Collett and Tom McEwan in the saddle, fresh from winning gold for Team GB at Paris 2024.
Blenheim is no stranger to a celebrity guest, with broadcasting legend Sara Cox set to interview riders as they finish the cross-country phase on Saturday and meet and greets with 12-year-old equestrian influencer, Harlow White, on Sunday.
Not only an internationally renowned equestrian event but a wonderful day out for families, there's also mini-Land Rovers to drive and, new for 2024, a giant observation wheel that offers panoramic views over the horse trials.
Have a go at off-road driving along Blenheim's bumpy 4x4 course, see falcons soar and dogs put through their paces in the agility ring, and peruse the shopping village for country essentials and local produce.
The Shetland Pony Grand National is back too, promising all the thrills of a day at the races — in miniature! With the tiny ponies making big strides to race over steeplechase fences, ridden by young jockeys aged nine to 14.
Tickets must be purchased online via the Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials website.
