Set to be a spectacular nine days of world-class dressage, we are heading to Hampshire for the next Festival of Dressage in our calendar. Featuring Premier League classes from Medium through to Grand Prix, Freestyle to Music classes, KBIS Young Horse Qualifiers, CDI and CPEDI classes, it is set to be a fantastic showcase of top performances.
The Premier League will be running from Tuesday to Friday, the CDI action begins on Thursday, and the CPEDI begins on Sunday. Exciting combinations are set to compete, as youth riders battle it out at the European selectors event; senior CDI1* and 3* entries boast crowd favorites such as Michael Eilberg, Bryony Goodwin, Carl Hester, Alexander Harrison, Sadie Smith and Laura Tomlinson; and para superstars such as Alice Begg, Sophie Wells, Nicola Naylor and Lee Pearson are due to take to the international stage in a display of dressage excellence.
Entry is free for spectators, and there is a beautiful café that overlooks the main indoor arena, with terrace seating overlooking the outdoor arenas, and the shop for people to get last minute items and take advantage of show offers. There is also the annual Premier League Gala Evening on the Friday, where you can witness the spectacular Prix St Georges Freestyle to Music displays and an exclusive evening demonstration. Doors open at 5.45 ready for a 6.00pm start. Tickets for this fantastic evening can be purchased here.
Tickets for the Saturday viewing experience are also available. These FREE tickets allow you to enjoy the dazzling dressage display from a dedicated spectator viewing area, experience the catering and refreshments available exclusively for attendees of this viewing experience, and delight in a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. Tickets for this experience are available for booking from here.
