Blenheim is running!

Apologies if there is already a thread going on this.

I have just booked mine and Mum's tickets woohoo! I'll have moved up t'North by then but this is certainly worth a trip down.

Baby's first horse trials at only a month old. Will my aching recovering body regret this decision? Most likely. But ah well!

If anyone else is going on xc day and sees a walking zombie, come say hi! If it's not hot I'll have Mabel with me and will exchange coffee/pastries for Mabel kisses and cuddles.

I really wish I could go, but I'll be 3 weeks from my due date by then, so probably not the best idea to book tickets!

Have a fab time!

I've booked west end tickets for 3 weeks before my due date...whoops.

I usually steward, but missed a couple of years before lock down for various reasons. Have now signed up to volunteer again.

Got to start them young - glad you've got a nice day out to look forward to It'll be worth any resulting exhaustion!

Given the free tickets for under 17s and lack of Burghley, it's going to be rammed.

Always used to go to Blenheim because it felt that bit quieter!

Gonna be rammed now Mabel's going anyway

I saw that! Thought free for under 17 seemed very generous. Normally I think it’s under 12 ish?

I should probably let them know so they can set up one of those meet and greet stages...

That's what I thought!

Usually go for all 4 days as a member - have been going since event first started but looking in detail at the website we won't be going again.

There is no members any more as per what it used to be. It has been replaced by a 'Club' enclosure which is well away from the main arena. The 'Palace' enclosure by the main arena is for the seriously wealthy only (think it is £420 for the saturday alone.

Also the 4 day ticket includes a grandstand seat for the sunday - but this is to be allocated by a ballot so purchasers have no choice of which seat they get.

If you hunt around on the website you will find a 'Map' option to show you where things will be.

Adding further that there will be no admission on the day at all. You must book in advance.

Meep at £420 a ticket to sit in a marquee.

Map layout looks the same bar the club bit being by the demo arena as it were.
