The Cotswolds is set for a glorious end to summer with the 2024 Cornbury House Horse Trials. On 11-15 September, one of the most prestigious estates in the region, Cornbury House in Charlbury, Oxfordshire, will transform into a haven for equestrian enthusiasts, food lovers, and families alike.

Dressage, cross-country, and showjumping

This five-day international event, now in its fifth year, promises world-class competition. Spectators can witness some of the finest young horses and riders in the country compete in dressage, cross-country, and showjumping. But Cornbury House Horse Trials offers more than just thrilling equestrian action.

From the Farm

Beyond the competition ring, the event caters to a wider audience. Local produce takes centre stage with a new initiative called “From the Farm,” featuring the best offerings from Cornbury Farm, Bruern Farm, and Honeydale Farm. A celebration of food and drink extends beyond the farms, with a focus on exceptional local vendors throughout the event.

Passion for British talent
