A fantastic venue and superb arena, one of the best I have seen!! Friendly staff and a great atmosphere, I will definitely be back!
Tim Stockdale
The centre hosts a number of events and competitions throughout the year, such as regular affiliated and unaffiliated show jumping, unaffiliated and affiliated dressage up to Grand Prix, and lecture demonstrations and clinics by leading trainers and riders to name but a few. Dog agility clubs also regularly use the arena to host shows and training clinics.
The competitions are based around the fabulous indoor arena with a gel track cushioned surface, and our 30 x 60 rubber surface, fully floodlit warm up arena. We also have two permanent outdoor competition spaces, allowing us to run derby show jumping, our annual summer show and Horse Trials.

Horse Jumping
What an arena!! Super surface and a fantastic facility! One of the best Equestrian setups we have ever been to in Europe - and it was worth the drive! This was our first lecture demo and we will certainly be back.
