It is with deep sadness and regret that, despite great efforts from the organising team, the decision has been made to abandon the Festival of British Eventing. This is especially disappointing that it happened during the event’s 40th anniversary.
The adverse weather experienced at Gatcombe today has made the site unsafe for the event to continue for all competitors (human and equine) as well as the many thousands of spectators that were due on site tomorrow. Safety for all is our main priority.
Further information on the refund process will be provided in due course.
The organising team would like to thank everyone involved in the event for their unwavering support and hard work over the past few days.
