Indie-pop band Scouting for Girls are set to headline Cheshire’s most prestigious international showjumping event next summer.
And music fans will even be able to camp on the Bolesworth estate in Tattenhall as they watch the Brit-nominated band, best known for their hits ‘She’s So Lovely’ and ‘I Wish I was James Bond’, at 2015’s event during the weekend of June 18-21.
At this year’s event, organisers saw their busiest turnout at Bolesworth for seven years , with more than 30,000 people flocking to the show, which was headlined by the boyband Blue.
Next year’s festivities will kick off with the popular Schools Day on Thursday June 18, while the Business Lunch returns the following day with a high profile speaker to be announced in the coming weeks.
