This year’s event, affiliated to the British Showjumping Association, features one of the country’s largest prize funds and a host of attractions across the weekend to appeal to the whole family.
On Friday, July 10, businesses and corporate guests are invited toŠŠenjoy the Bolesworth Classic Business Lunch in the VIP Marquee.
This unique event will provide the perfectŠŠopportunityŠŠfor businesses toŠŠpromote themselves, entertain clients with a three-course luncheon and afternoon tea and watch the cream of British showjumping from the sun terrace overlooking the main arena at the castle.
A summer barbecue with live entertainment will be held on Saturday July 11, including a new 148 PonyŠGrand Prix, and the popular dog show, which attracted hundreds of entries last year.
