Known for its world-class equestrian action, the NAF Five Star International Hartpury Horse Trials is also the ideal summer outing for families – jam-packed with exciting activities for children.
Held at Hartpury University and Hartpury College once again, the event features the British Eventing Championships and is free to enter from Tuesday 5 until Friday 8 August 2025. Better still, children under the age of 12 go free every day when accompanied by a paying adult, making it perfect for family fun during the school holidays – without breaking the bank!
While all the horsey action takes place on the courses, there's a buzzing Family Fun Zone on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 August where little ones can:
- Bounce on the inflatables
- Get their face painted
- Show off their dog's agility skills
- Cheer on Hobby horse races
- Go on mini lander adventures
- Get competitive in sports activities
- Feast on foodie treats
Early bird weekend tickets cost £40, including parking, or £20 per adult, per day, rising to £25 after Sunday 27 July 2025.
Plus, for those wanting something a little more special, there's a VIP area located at Hartpury House, with admission, drinks, lunch and an event programme all included in VIP tickets priced at £135 per person.
There's plenty for grown-ups to enjoy too, including a retail area full of top equestrian brands to browse, alongside lifestyle stalls, artisan gifts and more.
